Typical hazards & measures
Inadequate instructor qualifications
— Ensure all instructors hold recognized certifications (e.g., ISIA, BASI) and have up-to-date training. Regularly assess their performance and provide continuous professional development opportunities.
Inexperience with skiing techniques
— Tailor lessons to the skill levels of the participants, starting with basic techniques like snowplow and gradual turns before advancing. Provide additional supervision and individual coaching for participants struggling with the basics.
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.
Exposure to extreme cold
— Conduct regular clothing checks, ensuring all participants have adequate layers, gloves, and thermal clothing. Provide spare clothing and shelter options at regular intervals. Enforce frequent breaks to monitor for signs of hypothermia or frostbite.
Lack of understanding of slope signs and markings
— Conduct a briefing on the meaning of ski slope signs, such as difficulty ratings and hazard markers, before participants begin skiing. Instructors should periodically remind participants of the importance of staying on marked trails and observing slope signage.
