Slope rules
THE “TRAFFIC RULES” OF WINTER SPORTS
Like any other type of sport, skiing and snowboarding carry some risks. The FIS-Rules of Conduct are the standard for adequate sportive behaviour of careful and responsible skiing. Skiers and snowboarders aim to prevent accidents on ski and snowboard runs. These rules apply to all skiers and snowboarders. Every skier and snowboarder must know the rules and adhere to them. Anyone causing an accident in breach of the rules can be held responsible for the consequences under civil and criminal law.
1. CONSIDER OTHERS
Every skier on the slope has to act in such a way as to not endanger or harm anyone.
2. CONTROL OF SPEED AND WAY OF SKIING
Every skier has to adapt their speed and way of skiing to their abilities and the conditions of the terrain and the weather.
3. CHOICE OF TRACK
The skier coming from behind has to choose a track that does not endanger the skier in front of them.
