Control of speed when skiing or snowboarding A skier or snowboarder must move with control. He or she must adapt their speed and manner of skiing or snowboarding to their personal ability and to the prevailing terrain, snow and weather, as well as to the amount of traffic.
Choice of route: A skier or snowboarder coming from behind must choose their route in such a way that they do not endanger skiers or snowboarders ahead of them.
Overtaking A skier or snowboarder may overtake another skier or snowboarder above or below and to the right or to the left provided that they leave enough space for the overtaken skier or snowboarder to make any voluntary or involuntary movements.

· Respect the advice given by the staff responsible for the snowpark.
· Use a helmet and protective gear to prevent possible injuries in case of a collision or fall.

IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
• Protect the injured person.
• Alert the ski patrol service immediately. You can call the emergency telephone number that is indicated on the markers in the ski resort or notify the nearest staff member. Try to give them as many details as possible about the injured person and their location.
• First aid. Do not move the injured person! This must be done by a professional. The best thing you can do is to keep them company.
OFF-PISTE
• In case of adverse weather conditions, you must know when to avoid off-piste skiing.
• Be sure that you are fully equipped, with an avalanche transceiver (ARVA), probe and shovel.
• Do not ski off-piste alone.
• Even if you see ski tracks, this does not mean it is safe to ski in that area. Following ski tracks off-piste can lead to dangerous situations.
