Typical hazards & measures
Strong winds
— Check weather forecasts and wind conditions before skiing. Advise skiers to adjust their stance and movements to accommodate wind. Encourage wearing wind-resistant clothing. Be prepared to alter or postpone activities in case of high winds.
Inadequate supervision
— Ensure appropriate supervision ratios for group lessons or youth programs. Stay attentive to all participants during activities. Position instructors or supervisors to observe effectively. Intervene promptly if unsafe behavior is observed. Provide clear communication methods within the group.
Sunburn or snow blindness
— Advise skiers to apply high-SPF sunscreen and reapply as necessary. Encourage wearing UV-protective goggles or sunglasses and covering exposed skin. Educate on the intensified effects of UV radiation at higher altitudes and on reflective snow surfaces.
Obstacles on slopes
— Teach skiers to remain alert and scan the path ahead for obstacles such as rocks, trees, or equipment. Encourage staying on marked trails where hazards are minimized. Educate on how to navigate around obstacles safely. Promote the use of protective gear like helmets.
Variable snow conditions
— Teach skiers how different snow conditions affect skiing, such as powder, ice, or slush. Provide instruction on adapting techniques to suit the conditions. Encourage skiers to remain vigilant and adjust their approach based on the terrain and snow quality. Include practice sessions in varied conditions to build adaptability.
