Extra Piste Rules
 |
Eyes Open!A skier or snowboarder who wants to make a descent or resume after a stop, has to look up, down, left and right, to ensure this can be done without danger to yourself or others. |
|
 |
Crash!It's not funny to sky or board through a group of people. A fall of one skier or boarder could cause a domino effect and one or several people could easily get hurt. |
|
 |
Wear your Helmet!Accidents on the slopes are often cause for head injuries or concussions. A ski helmet can reduce the chance of a head injury or a concussion in 85% of all accidents. |
|
 |
Everything under control?A skier or snowboarder must adjust his/her speed to match their skills, the terrain, the snow, the weather conditions and traffic density. Anyone going too fast for the situation at hand can easily lose control. |
|
 |
Keep it Cool!Open the lift handle only in the marked zones. |
|
 |
After you!A skier or snowboarder must ski or board in a fashion that they will not disturb others. A skier or boarder approaching from behind must chose his or her route so that it will not affect the people being overtaken. The skier or boarder being overtaken has priority over the overtaking skier or boarder, so be sure to keep enough distance in case the front skier or boarder needs to make adjustments to his or her movements. |
|
 |
Break!In the afternoon the risk of an accident is twice as high as in the morning. Food, alcohol and the first signs of fatigue bue to the sport activities will reduce the efficiency of the body. |
|
 |
Maintenance!Maintenance and the correct adjustment of your equipment is very important! |
|
 |
Stop!Do not ignore signs marking. If you do chance of avalanches will be high. |
|
 |
Warming-up!It is essential to do a proper warm-up before your first run or after a long break. This will help you get your cardiovascular system in gear and prepare your body for the stress of the upcoming trip. |
|
 |
Don't stop in a blind spot!
A skier or snowboarder should avoid stopping in a blind spot. Only stop at convenient places. If you fall down, move to a clear, visible place as soon as possible. If this can not be done immediately, then clearly mark the location of the accident. |
