Safety Info

The security of the group depends directly on each skier of the group and the discipline among the group. Your guide will give you information all through the run, but don’t forget the basic rules: Respect your guide’s instructions: 1. number of skiers in the same slope; 2. where to stop; 3. lateral limits not to cross; 4. don’t shout in vain, uselessly; 5. ask to take pictures or to film, so that we can organize it without risking the security of the group. If a skier falls: 1. never ski above somebody who has just fallen in order to avoid snow falling on him/her, snow which may cover the person or hide some lost pieces of equipment; 2. stop skiing in order to avoid causing an avalanche. The fallen skier is vulnerable; 3. help the person by skiing towards him/her from the side. Lost material: 1. determine which ski is lost (left or right); 2. remember the fall and the moment you lost the ski; 3. search from below, depending on your analysis and the tracks in the snow, by dragging your ski stick laterally across the tracks. How and where to stop: 1. Never stop below the guide or the person who was skiing first; 2. never ski towards the group with speed: (risk of collision; useless overloading when stopping); 3. leave some space between the skiers as to not overload the slopes; 4. stop well above any steep slope. This change of gradient is a weaker area in the snow pack; 5. don’t stop at the bottom of gullies; 6. always foresee an escape route and point the skis in that direction.
