Tips for an undisturbed skiing pleasure

For accident-free skiing and tobogganing pleasure, please pay attention to some safety tips:

Make sure you have the right equipment

Before every season you should have your ski and binding checked by a professional expert.
Wear your ski helmet! Not only during skiing, but also during sledding, many accidents occur in which the head is affected.
What is good for children can not be bad for adults. Adult skiers and snowboarders are just as at risk as children. Be an example and wear a helmet on the slopes.

TIP: Rent your skiing gear

The Feuerkogel ski school now offers a special service: skis, snowboards, skiboots, poles, ... to rent for the whole season (The offer is only valid as long as stocks last). A storage bonus is available for families!

On the piste

Get warmed up! Your muscles react faster when your body is warmed up, which means many injuries to ligaments and joints can be prevented.
Do some playful exercises with your children, such as jumping jack or have a snowball fight. It’s a lot of fun and warms your body up
Since the effect of the warm up disappears quickly after sitting or standing for a long time, you should do your warm-up exercises after your lift journey
Take regular breaks. Accident statistics show a high correlation between the symptoms of fatigue, such as lack of concentration, and increased accident frequency.

You can also prevent accidents by adhering to a few piste rules:

Always look up before you set off
Don't confuse the slopes with a ski race track
Don’t leave the secured pistes
Don't stand in a spot with poor visibility
Give slower skiers a priority
Only go up/down the edge of the piste, and take a break
Don’t drink any alcohol (it decreases the reactivity t and leads to overestimate your own abilities)
