The 10 Rules for Skiers

1. Respect for Others
Skiers and snowboarders must behave in such a way that they do not endanger or harm others, either through their behavior or their equipment.

2. Control of Speed and Behavior
All skiers and snowboarders must adapt their speed and behavior to their personal abilities, as well as to the general terrain and weather conditions, snow conditions, and traffic density.

3. Control of Direction
Anyone positioned upstream has the advantage of being able to choose their path; they must therefore make this choice in a way that ensures the safety of anyone downstream.

4. Passing
Overtaking may be done from upstream or downstream, from the right or the left; however, it must always be done with sufficient clearance to allow for the movements of the person being overtaken.

5. At Trail Crossings or When Setting Off
After coming to a stop or at a trail intersection, every skier or snowboarder must look both upstream and downstream to ensure that they can proceed without endangering others or themselves.

6. Parking
All users must avoid parking in narrow passages or areas with limited visibility; in the event of a fall, they must clear the trail as quickly as possible.

7. Ascending and Descending on Foot
Anyone who is forced to walk up or down a trail must use the edge of the trail, taking care to ensure that neither they nor their equipment poses a danger to others.

8. Compliance with Markings and Signs
Users must take into account information regarding weather conditions, trail conditions, and snow conditions. They must obey trail markers and signage.

9. Assistance
Anyone who witnesses or is involved in an accident must provide assistance, in particular by raising the alarm. If necessary, and at the request of first responders, they must make themselves available to assist.

10. Identification
All skiers and snowboarders who witness an accident—whether or not they are responsible for it—are required to provide their identification.
