mountain safety guidelines You ski or snowboard at your own risk. Learn to ski or snowboard by getting proper, qualified instruction. Consider wearing a helmet. It is mandatory in certain competition disciplines and for children at most resorts and UK centres. Check out the International Code of Conduct - it's legally binding on ALL slope users. Always check your equipment before you ski or snowboard and make sure its all in good order. Always wear sunglasses or goggles or you'll end up with snowblindness. Check all available weather and avalanche reports in resort before going up the mountain. Leashes for snowboardes are mandatory in some resorts - always make sure you have one available. Watch out for piste machines - they hurt ! It is essential to look carefully to right and left when changing direction, especially for snowboarders when starting a heelside turn - look backwards, over your shoulder and up the slope. Inexperienced skiers and snowboarders should only use marked runs. These are protected from alpine dangers - ie avalanches and unexpected precipices. Areas outside the marked pistes and itineraries are not protected from alpine hazards. The areas outside the marked runs are not normally patrolled or groomed. Skiers or snowboarders wishing to go off-piste should get suitable training. Hiring a trained professional guide is the safest way to ski or snowboard off-piste until you have gained the right level of experience.They'll save you time and take you to the best spots. Go as a group and you'll save money. NEVER ski or snowboard off-piste alone. Peer pressure can be dangerous - if your not sure, or uncomfortable, don't do it! Make sure someone knows where you are going and when you're likely to be back. Take a mobile phone with you and enter the local emergency numbers. It may just help you avert a disaster! Please note however that there are substantial concerns about electronic items interfering with tranceivers and therefore the ability to locate an avalanche victim quickly and successfully. It is currently recommended that mobile phones are switched off and only used when necessary when skiing or snowboarding backcountry as recent research has shown them to interefere with both analogue and digital tranceivers. Respect nature - take care not to ski or snowboard in areas where young trees will be damaged or wildlife disturbed. Don't shout and holler at 3am down the middle of the street except under exceptional circumstances. Don't drop litter and leave everything as found. The mountains are not your personal landfill site! Enjoy the snow.  |
