Staying safe on piste is hugely important, not just for yourself, but also for your fellow slope users. Adhering to the local rules, respecting the conditions and taking note of the terrain around you are great places to start. The International Ski Federation (FIS) has developed ‘Rules of Conduct’ that apply to all who use the pistes – regardless of what equipment they’re using. This ‘highway code’ for the snow helps everyone to stay safe on the slopes, and should be followed at all times.

Summary

In order to stay safe on the mountain, remember the following key points:

  • Ski and ride within the FIS Code of Conduct at all times
  • In the event of an accident you should help assist at the scene
  • This can include calling for emergency assistance or directing skiers to avoid the scene
