Don't ignore these guys...
Not only do the piste patrol look after your safety, picking you up, mending and sending you to hospital, they also do a whole lot more...
The piste patrol teams located in the ski resorts of the alps are experts in their own micro climatic zones, they manage the local areas of snow, they know what is safe and what is fragile.
We strongly advise that you STOP and observe the local area ski patrol.
Also, study the local weather pattern, considering the past, present to future conditions as well as the local avalanche daily risk. Only then make a decision on what and where to ski.
RED IS WARNING AHEAD
How many of you have jumped a red light in your car, a few, more…!?
After a big snowfall, skiers rush out onto the big ski slopes and set off unintentional avalanches…. deaths occur!
THIS IS THE REALITY OF IGNORANCE
Knowing when to STOP is your safety net, the PISTE PATROL study, observe and manage the local conditions of any given resort. Managing slope security.
If a slope has been closed due to warm weather, large amounts of snow or fragile early season conditions are evident then STOP, remember the RED LIGHT.
Too often people jump the RED LIGHT.
1) Observe the local weather bulletins - past, present, future.
2) Don't ignore the ski patrol.
3) After a snow storm, STOP, allow fresh snow to settle.
4) Consult the most suitable professionals.
The mountain is a recipe for fun or disaster, make the right call.
