Security has top priority! To enjoy an untroubled ski holiday there are a number of things to consider, from thorough preparations to right behaviour on the slopes. SnowTrex has listed the top 10 tips for a safe ski holiday.
1. Preparation: Thanks' to a detailed packing list you will not
forget anything, double-check your equipment and be well-
prepared before you leave.
2. Fitness and self-assessment: Train your personal stamina
beforehand and warm up thoroughly before hitting the slopes -
and then be considerate of other riders.
3. FIS piste rules: These 10 golden rules should be known to all
riders on the slopes!
4. Helmet obligation: Today a ski helmet is part of the general
equipment stock, just like goggles and ski poles.
5. Secure equipment: Almost every fifth accident is due to failure
in equipment. Up-to-date equipment and good service ensure a safe
descent.
6. Body protection: For freestylers and freeriders protectors for
the back, hands and joints should always be a part of the
holiday.
7. Insurance: Be prepared against illness, breakage or theft - and
enjoy your holiday all the more.
8. Alcohol consumption: Drunk on the piste? Absolutely No!
9. Piste emergency number: 140, 118, 15 - which number for which
country?
