The Responsible Skier’s Guide

1- Respect for others:
Skiers must act in a way that does not endanger or harm others, whether through their behavior or their equipment.

2- Control your speed and behavior:
Always adapt your speed and skiing style to:

• your own skill level,
• the terrain and weather conditions,
• the snow conditions,
• and the number of people on the slopes.

3- Choice of route for the uphill skier:
Skiers coming from above must choose a line that does not endanger those below them.

4- Overtaking:
You may overtake from above or below, on the left or the right—but always leave enough space to avoid surprising or colliding with the skier you are passing.

5- Entering or starting on a slope:
Before joining a slope or setting off, always look both uphill and downhill to make sure it is safe.

6- Stopping on the slopes:
Do not stop in narrow places or where you are not visible. If you fall, move aside quickly as possible to clear the slope.

7- Walking up or down a slope:
If you must walk up or down a slope, always keep to the edge.

8- Respect signs and markings:
Always follow on-site information:

• including weather updates,
• snow conditions and slope status.

Markers and signs are there for your safety—respect them!

9- Offer assistance:
If you are involved in or witness an accident, you are obliged to help. At the very least, alert ski patrol. And if asked by rescuers, be ready to assist.

10- Identify yourself:
Whether you are a witness or directly involved in an incident, you must give your name and contact details to the ski patrol and to anyone concerned.
