Typical hazards & measures
Off-piste skiing
— Advise skiers to stay on marked trails unless they have the necessary skills, equipment, and guidance to go off-piste. Provide information on the risks associated with off-piste skiing. Encourage skiing with a partner and informing others of intended routes. Promote the use of maps and GPS devices.
Steep terrain
— Assess skiers’ skill levels before attempting advanced terrain. Gradually introduce more challenging slopes as abilities improve. Teach techniques specific to steep terrain, such as proper body positioning and turn initiation. Encourage skiers to familiarize themselves with the terrain before descending.
Ski lift malfunctions
— Instruct skiers on proper procedures for using lifts, including loading, riding, and unloading techniques. Teach how to respond in case of lift stoppages or malfunctions, such as remaining calm and awaiting instructions. Familiarize skiers with safety features and signals used by lift operators. Encourage reporting any issues immediately.
Uneven terrain
— Teach skiers to scan ahead and adjust their technique for varying terrain. Provide instruction on handling moguls, dips, and other irregularities. Encourage maintaining a moderate speed to allow time for adjustments. Practice on controlled terrain to build confidence.
Poor visibility
— Teach skiers techniques for skiing in low-visibility conditions, such as following markers and using appropriate goggles. Encourage reducing speed and increasing caution. Adjust lesson plans to remain on familiar or well-marked trails during poor visibility. Instruct on the importance of staying together with companions.
