Typical hazards & measures
Overexertion and fatigue
— Incorporate scheduled rest breaks and monitor participants for signs of exhaustion. Provide proper hydration and nutrition throughout the day. Modify the activity level according to the group's abilities.
Navigating steep or challenging terrain
— Instructors must assess the participants' ability to handle steeper slopes and guide them in using the correct techniques, such as side-slipping or snowplowing on steep terrain. Progress gradually from gentler slopes to more challenging areas.
Unfamiliarity with mountain rescue procedures
— Provide a pre-lesson briefing on emergency rescue procedures, including how to alert ski patrols and respond to accidents. Ensure participants know key emergency signals, such as waving arms or using emergency whistles, and what to do in case of an avalanche.
Prolonged exposure to cold wind
— Ensure all participants are wearing windproof and insulated clothing, including gloves, face masks, and thermal socks. Regular checks by instructors to monitor exposed skin and schedule breaks in warm areas are essential.
Incorrectly fitted ski equipment
— All equipment must be checked and fitted by a qualified technician before use. Ski bindings and boots should be adjusted to the skier’s size and weight. Regular checks throughout the day by supervisors are necessary to ensure all equipment remains in good condition.
