Wear a helmet: Helmets reduce the risk of head injuries. Make sure your helmet fits properly and is correctly adjusted.
Take a ski lesson: Are you a beginner, or has it been a while since you last went skiing? Guidance from a qualified instructor can help reduce the risk of accidents and improve your safety on the slopes.
Follow the ski rules: The FIS rules of the International Ski Federation are designed to protect you and others. It’s a good idea to review them before heading to the mountain.
Know your limits: Choose slopes that match your skiing ability. Many injuries occur when people attempt runs that are too steep or difficult. Remember to take breaks and rest regularly.
Warm up: Warming up reduces the risk of strains and injuries. Just a few minutes of light movement can make a big difference.
Use sunscreen and sunglasses: Sunlight reflecting off the snow can be strong and cause discomfort for both your eyes and skin. It’s worth taking the time to be prepared.
