Safety First<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every skier is responsible for slope safety. By following the rules, skiing becomes more enjoyable and safer for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ski Slope Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Check Your Equipment<\/strong>
    Make sure your gear is adjusted to your size, weight, and ability. Wearing a helmet is recommended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Respect Lift Etiquette<\/strong>
    Join the lift line and be ready to share the lift with others. Exit only at designated areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Choose the Right Slope<\/strong>
    Select a slope that matches your skill level and adjust your speed accordingly. Familiarize yourself with special areas in advance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Keep a Safe Distance<\/strong>
    Maintain space when passing skiers below or ahead of you. Pay extra attention to small children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stop Safely<\/strong>
    Stop only where you can be clearly seen. If you need to go uphill, use the edge of the slope.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Control Your Speed<\/strong>
    Avoid skiing too fast. Always consider snow and slope conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sledging<\/strong>
    Allowed only in designated areas. You sledge at your own risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Personal Responsibility<\/strong>
    You always ski at your own risk. Using slopes under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Accidents<\/strong>
    Assist others in case of an accident and report immediately to ski area staff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Forest Areas<\/strong>
    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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Follow Signs and Staff Instructions<\/strong>
    Always respect ski centre signs and follow staff guidance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Always respect the signs at the ski centre and follow the instructions of the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The staff is authorised to take away the skipass from anyone who ignores the slope rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Aid and Safety on the Slopes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    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\u2019s condition is assessed on the spot. After that, the patient is transported to the resort\u2019s first aid room, and if necessary, an ambulance is called. Every accident is registered, and detailed statistics are kept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Important Safety Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Alcohol and Skiing<\/strong>
      Skiing after consuming alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited. Under the influence of alcohol, you endanger both your own safety and the safety of others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Lift Use<\/strong>
      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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Drones and Quadcopters<\/strong>
      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).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Keep Distance<\/strong>
      Maintain a safe distance from personnel and service equipment moving on the slope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Note:<\/strong> The ski center staff has the right to withdraw the lift ticket from anyone violating these rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
