Brentwood Park Ski & Snowboard
Centre considers
safety a priority. We go to great lengths to reduce the risk of injury
and accidents on our slopes so that you can relax and enjoy a fun ski
and boarding experience. To this effect we implement the following two
sets of rules - please observe them as they are for your own safety
& well being.
The F.I.S. (International Ski Federation) has
established ten rules for the conduct of skiers and snowboarders. In
short, these are :
| 1 |
RESPECT.
Do not endanger others. |
| 2 |
CONTROL. Adapt the
manner and speed of your skiing to your ability and to the
general conditions on the mountain/slope. |
| 3 |
CHOICE OF ROUTE. The
skier/snowboarder in front has priority - leave enough space. |
| 4 |
OVERTAKING. Leave
plenty of space when overtaking a slower skier/snowboarder. |
| 5 |
ENTERING & STARTING. Look up and down the mountain/slop each time before starting or
entering a marked run. |
| 6 |
STOPPING. Only stop
at the edge of the piste/slope or where you can easily be seen. |
| 7 |
CLIMBING. When
climbing up or down, always keep to the side of the piste/slope. |
| 8 |
SIGNS.
Obey all signs
and markings - they are there for your safety. |
| 9 |
ASSISTANCE. In case
of accidents provide help and alert the rescue service. |
| 10 |
IDENTIFICATION. All
those involved in an accident, including witnesses, should
exchange names and addresses. |
PLEASE NOTE
: ALL
THE ABOVE RULES ARE BINDING IN LAW AND APPLY TO BOTH SKIERS AND
SNOWBOARDERS.
There are four additional RESPONSIBILITIES
that snowboarders should adhere to:
| 1 |
LEASH. The front leg
must be firmly tethered to the board by a safety strap. |
| 2 |
LOOK. It is essential
to look left & right when changing direction, especially
when starting a turn heel side - glance behind. |
| 3 |
ABILITY.
The ability
to ski does not automatically mean the same ability to
snowboard. |
| 4 |
INSTRUCTION. Do not
attempt the sport without qualified instruction. |
** To ensure a quick response to any injury situation
all of our instructors are qualified in First Aid.
| 1 |
You

direction and the ability to use the lifts. This is an essential
requirement and failure to comply will result in the termination
of use without refund. |

trousers MUST be worn at all times. |
| 4 |

Snowboard School's Instructors is not permitted. |
