[vc_row][vc_column][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”30_”][vc_column_text]The mountain code of conduct establishes rules that promote the harmonious cohabitation<\/strong> of all the resort’s users and help reduce the risk of injury<\/strong>. It also applies to snow parks and the term “skiing” encompasses all types of activities practiced in a ski resort (snowboarding, telemark, etc.).<\/p>\n

For his or her own safety and that of others, every skier must behave respectfully<\/strong> and comply with the Code and other rules in effect at the resort. Patrollers may intervene with a person who violates the Code and withdraw his or her ski ticket.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_size=”vc_row_small”][vc_column][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”_”][vc_bloc_separateur][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”65_”][vc_column_text css=””]1- The Golden Rule: control <\/strong><\/p>\n

Maintain control of your speed and direction. Make sure you can stop and avoid any person or obstacle.[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”65_”][vc_bloc_separateur][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_size=”vc_row_small”][vc_column][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”30_”][vc_column_text]2- Priority to people located lower down<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yield priority to people downstream (below) and take a direction that ensures their safety. On the trails, the person up (higher up) has a clear view of the people below; it is their responsibility to manoeuvre to avoid them.[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”65_”][vc_bloc_separateur][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_size=”vc_row_small”][vc_column][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”30_”][vc_column_text]3- Clear the trails<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stop on a trail only if you are visible to people upstream (higher up) and if you do not obstruct the trail. To avoid putting yourself in unnecessary danger, it is recommended to stop on the sides of the trails.[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”65_”][vc_bloc_separateur][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_size=”vc_row_small”][vc_column][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”30_”][vc_column_text]4- At intersections, priority is given to people located higher up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Give way to people upstream (above) when entering a trail, as well as at intersections. Like a motorist who must stop at intersections, the rider must avoid cutting in the path of someone already on a downhill run.[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”65_”][vc_bloc_separateur][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_size=”vc_row_small”][vc_column][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”30_”][vc_column_text el_class=”liste_bullets”]5- Help the rescuers<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are involved in or witness an accident, remain at the scene and identify yourself to a first responder. Whether involved in an accident or not, the rider must assist another injured person. He or she should also assist the rescuers in gathering the required information.[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”65_”][vc_bloc_separateur][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_size=”vc_row_small”][vc_column][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=”30_”][vc_column_text el_class=”liste_bullets”]6- Authorized equipment and safety<\/strong><\/p>\n

Always use and wear an appropriate retention system for your equipment. The rider must use a system that, in the event of a fall, prevents his equipment from escaping from him, in order to avoid injuring another person. Examples include the braking system built into ski bindings in downhill skiing and the strap in snowboarding.<\/p>\n

Your\u00a0 gear must also include all of these elements:<\/p>\n
