Ski Slope Rules
- Check Your Equipment
Make sure your gear is adjusted to your size, weight, and ability. Wearing a helmet is recommended. - Respect Lift Etiquette
Join the lift line and be ready to share the lift with others. Exit only at designated areas. - Choose the Right Slope
Select a slope that matches your skill level and adjust your speed accordingly. Familiarize yourself with special areas in advance. - Keep a Safe Distance
Maintain space when passing skiers below or ahead of you. Pay extra attention to small children. - Stop Safely
Stop only where you can be clearly seen. If you need to go uphill, use the edge of the slope. - Control Your Speed
Avoid skiing too fast. Always consider snow and slope conditions. - Sledging
Allowed only in designated areas. You sledge at your own risk. - Personal Responsibility
You always ski at your own risk. Using slopes under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. - Accidents
Assist others in case of an accident and report immediately to ski area staff. - Forest Areas
Skiing or snowboarding in the forest is not recommended for safety reasons. Forest trails are outside the slope area, and we cannot guarantee safety or first aid access in hard-to-reach places. Customers enter forest trails at their own risk. - Follow Signs and Staff Instructions
Always respect ski centre signs and follow staff guidance.

First Aid and Safety on the Slopes
The staff on the slopes of Vuokatti are trained in first aid.
In case of an accident, a first aid snowmobile equipped with a special carriage for transporting the patient is dispatched along with a team of at least two people. The patient’s condition is assessed on the spot. After that, the patient is transported to the resort’s first aid room, and if necessary, an ambulance is called. Every accident is registered, and detailed statistics are kept.
Important Safety Rules
- Alcohol and Skiing
Skiing after consuming alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited. Under the influence of alcohol, you endanger both your own safety and the safety of others. - Lift Use
Lifts can only be used with proper accompanying equipment.
It is strictly forbidden to use elevators with a baby carrier on your back or to ski down the slope with it, for the safety of the child. All children using lifts must have the appropriate equipment. - Drones and Quadcopters
Launching any aircraft over people is prohibited, both on the slopes and near substations, unless you have prior approval for photographing the ski resort (e.g., for advertising purposes). - Keep Distance
Maintain a safe distance from personnel and service equipment moving on the slope.
Note: The ski center staff has the right to withdraw the lift ticket from anyone violating these rules.
