Accidents: two bandaged and splinted freeriders The FIS (International Ski Federation) has established ten rules for the conduct of skiers and boarders. In short they are:

Respect: Do not endanger others.

Control: Adapt the manner and speed of your skiing/snowboarding to your ability and to the general conditions on the mountain.

Choice of Route: The skier/boarder in front has priority. Leave enough space.

Overtaking: Leave plenty of space when overtaking a slower skier/boarder.

Entering and Starting: Look up and down the mountain each time before starting or entering a marked run.

Stopping: Only stop at the edge of the piste or where you can actually be seen. Never stop below the brow of a hill where you are hidden.

Ski patrol: You are in violation, please leave the mountain Climbing: When climbing up or down, always keep to the side of the piste.

Signs: Obey all signs and markings. They are there for your safety.

Assistance: In case of accidents, mark the incident area with crossed skis or a snowboard stuck in the snow, provide help and alert the rescue service.

Identification: All those involved in an accident, including witnesses, should exchange names and addresses.

Note: Some Ski Patrols reserve the right to confiscate ski passes on the grounds of reckless skiing or snowboarding.
