10 FIS rules – how to behave correctly on the slopes

1. Respect for other skiers

Every skier or snowboarder must always behave in such a way so that he/she does not endanger or prejudice others.

2. Control of speed and skiing or snowboarding

Every skier or snowboarder must move at a safe distance and with regard to how far he/she can see. He/she must adapt his/her speed and manner of skiing or snowboarding to his/her personal ability and to the prevailing conditions of terrain, snow and weather as well as to the density of traffic.

3. Choice of route

A skier or snowboarder coming from behind must choose his/her route in such a way that he/she does not endanger skiers or snowboarders ahead.

4. Overtaking

A skier or snowboarder may overtake another skier or snowboarder above or below and to the right or to the left provided that he/she leaves enough space for the overtaken skier or snowboarder to make any voluntary or involuntary movement.

5. Entering and starting

Every skier or snowboarder entering a marked run or starting again after stopping on the slopes must look up and down the slopes to make sure that he/she can do so without endangering himself/herself or others.

6. Stopping

Unless absolutely necessary, a skier or snowboarder must avoid stopping on a piste in narrow places or where visibility is restricted. After falling, the skier or snowboarder must move clear of such a place as soon as possible.

7. Climbing and descending on foot

A skier or snowboarder either climbing or descending on foot must keep to the side of the piste.

8. Respect for signs and markings

A skier and snowboarder must respect all signs and markings.
