Typical hazards & measures
Getting lost or disoriented on the slopes
— Instructors should provide participants with a map of the skiing area and establish a designated meeting point in case anyone gets lost. Ensure participants are familiar with the layout of the area and that ski patrol personnel are available for assistance.
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.
Dehydration during physical exertion
— Ensure all participants are hydrated before the lesson and take regular breaks for water. Encourage the use of hydration packs for easier access to fluids, and provide reminders about the importance of staying hydrated in cold weather.
Inadequate supervision
— Maintain a high supervisor-to-participant ratio based on the group's age and experience level. Instructors should remain within visible range of participants at all times, and additional staff should be allocated for larger or more complex lessons. Regular headcounts and check-ins are essential.
Falling while using button lifts or chairlifts
— Conduct practice sessions on how to use button lifts and chairlifts properly, including handling falls or missed grips. Ensure that participants are familiar with the correct techniques for mounting and dismounting from lifts.
