Typical hazards & measures
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.
Uncontrolled speed downhill
— Teach participants speed control techniques like snowplowing and the use of brakes. Reinforce these skills during beginner lessons and ensure slopes are graded according to participant skill levels.
Avalanche risk
— Ensure that all activities are conducted in safe, controlled areas with no avalanche risk. Provide participants with safety briefings on how to identify avalanche hazards, and train them in emergency response techniques.
Off-piste skiing
— Off-piste skiing should only be allowed under strict supervision and with participants who have demonstrated adequate skill levels. Instructors should scout routes in advance to ensure safety and provide training on how to navigate unmarked terrain. Emergency equipment like avalanche beacons must be carried.
Injury from reckless skiing by others
— Instructors should maintain control over the group and stay aware of other skiers in the area. Ski patrol personnel should be on hand to manage reckless behavior from other slope users, and participants should be briefed on how to stay alert to potential dangers.
