Typical hazards & measures
Sunburn and snow blindness
— Instructors should ensure participants apply sunscreen with SPF 30+ and wear UV-blocking sunglasses or goggles. Regular reminders should be given during sunny days to reapply sunscreen. Provide extra sunscreen and spare goggles for participants without.
Unmarked obstacles
— Identify all potential obstacles in the teaching area, including trees, rocks, or snow machines. Mark or fence off these hazards and conduct a walkthrough with participants to show them how to avoid these obstacles safely. Instructors should remain vigilant for newly formed hazards.
Lift evacuation
— In the event of a lift stoppage, have a clear evacuation plan in place. Train instructors and participants on how to respond, including remaining calm and awaiting rescue. Instructors should ensure participants are aware of evacuation drills and what to expect during an emergency.
Hypothermia risk
— Ensure participants dress in layers of insulated, waterproof clothing. Monitor participants for signs of hypothermia such as shivering or confusion. Provide access to heated indoor spaces, blankets, and warm drinks for recovery during cold conditions.
Disorientation in whiteouts
— Equip participants with visibility aids such as colored vests during lessons in whiteout conditions. Regularly use terrain markers and guide participants in using landmarks for navigation. Instructors should be aware of escape routes in case of deteriorating visibility.
