"Rules of the road" for downhill skiing
- Pay attention - show consideration. Behave in a way that does not put anyone else at risk.
- Adapt your speed and riding style to the terrain, equipment, weather conditions and your own riding skills.
- Choose your direction of travel. If you are coming from above, you must keep out of the way of riders in front of you.
- Start carefully! Check - up and down - that the slope is clear before you start riding.
- Stop only where you are visible. If you have to stop - do so where you are clearly visible and where others can overtake you. If you overturn - clear the slope as quickly as possible.
- Overtake with margin. Keep enough distance so that the overtaking rider has enough room.
- Climb up the side of the slope. Always climb up the side of the slope. This is particularly important in poor visibility.
- Respect the signs. Rules and instructions on the slope are there for your well-being and the safety of others. Follow them!
