Mountain Safety Every Skier Should Know
By Ismail Bhai
Skiing is joyful, and staying safe keeps it that way. Ismail Bhai shares the habits every skier should follow.
Know the code
Ski in control, give way to people below you, stop only where you are visible, and look uphill before merging.
Wear a helmet
Helmets are now standard on the slopes, for adults and children alike.
Respect the weather and terrain
Check forecasts, watch for changing visibility, and never ski closed areas. Off-piste terrain demands avalanche training and proper equipment.
