SNOW RESORTS
When planning your trip, select an alpine resort which caters for your needs. Each of the ski resorts offers a variety of facilities and ski runs, from beginner to advanced.
ADVICE FOR SPECIAL HEALTH NEEDS
Those with pre-existing medical conditions should avoid riding chairlifts or skiing/boarding on their own.
LET SOMEONE KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Leave a written record of your trip plans with a reliable person so that person can notify the appropriate authorities without delay if you fail to return when expected.
PRE-SEASON FITNESS
It is strongly recommended that those going to the snowfields prepare themselves well in advance for their activity by participating in some form of pre-season fitness program to get fit to go skiing or boarding.
SAFETY CHECKLIST AND PLANNING
There are some basic rules (explained and set out more fully throughout this website) when going to the alpine region, even on the shortest trip.
BEFORE LEAVING HOME
Snowfield conditions may highlight any existing minor faults, particularly in the electrical system so it is essential to thoroughly check your vehicle before leaving home.
