1. Respect the others: every skier must behave in such a way that it does not endanger the others.

2. Speed and behavior control: every skier must adjust the sliding speed and behavior to suit its own physical and technical capability.

3. Direction control: the hillside skier, whose position is dominant, must choose and folow a direction which will ensure the safety of the downhill skier in case of a fall.

4. Overtaking: The skier can freely pass another one upwards, downwards, left or right, as long as the skier who makes the pass takes into consideration the other one’s evolution and maintains a sufficient safety margin.

5. Passing and crossing: The skier who crosses a slope or a school area has to keep visual control uphill and downhill, taking precautions to prevent an accident for himself and others.

6. Stationing: The skier must avoid stopping, and do it only in cases of absolute necessity in areas with little or no visibility. In case of a fall, he must quickly free the slope.

7. Climbing: on skis or on foot, must be done on the side of the slope.

8. Compliance with signaling: Everyone must adhere to the international symbol signs installed on the slope, regardless of their level of training, age, etc.

9. Respect the slope type: skidding fast on a slope reserved for beginners is a mistake, as well as a beginner adventuring on a difficult slope.

10. In case of an accident: any skier or person on the slope should help in the event of an accident.
