TEN FIS RULES FOR THE CONDUCT OF SKIERS AND SNOWBOARDERS

 

CHILDREN!

Under each image there is something to paint!

 

1st RULE

RESPECT FOR OTHERS

All slope-users must always behave in such a way that they do not endanger others nor harm them by their behaviour or their equipment.

 

 

2nd RULE

CONTROL OF SPEED AND BEHAVIOUR

All slope-users must adapt their speed and behaviour to their personal capabilities as well as to the general conditions of the slope, weather, snow conditions and density of other slope-users existing at the time.

 

 

3rd RULE

CHOICE OF DIRECTION

The slope -users who are higher up the slope are in position to choose their trayectory. They must always make this choice in such a way that they do not endanger the slope-users below.

 

 

4th RULE

OVERTAKING

Overtaking may take place above or below, to the left or to the right, but must always be undertaken with sufficient space to take into account the movements of the slope-user overtaken.

 

 

5th RULE

ENTERING, STARTING OFF FROM AND CROSSING SLOPES

When entering, starting off from or crossing slopes, all slope-users must check visually up-hill and down to ensure they are not endangering themselves or other slope-users.

 


 

 

6th RULE

STOPPING

All slope-users must avoid stopping in narrow places or areas of restricted visibility. In the event of a fall, they should remove themselves from the slope as quickly as possible.

 

 

7th RULE

WALKING UP OR DOWNHILL

Any slope-user who is obligated to move up or downhill on foot must keep to the side of the slope and ensure that neither he nor his equipment endangers other slope-users.

 

 

8th RULE

RESPECT FOR INFORMATION, SIGNS AND SIGN-POSTING

All slope-users must respect information, concerning weather conditions, the condition of the slopes and of the snow. They must respect signs and sign-posting at all times.

 

 

9th RULE

ASSISTANCE

Any person who is a witness or instigator of an accident must give assistance. In particular, by giving the alert. Should the need arise, and at the request of the mountain rescuers, he must place himself at their disposal.

 

 

10th RULE

IDENTIFICATION

Any person who is involved in, or witness to, an accident must let identify themselves to the Piste Patrol (or Emergency Service and to any others involved in the accident).
