RESPECT FOR OTHERS - You must behave in such a way that you do not endanger others.

CHOICE OF ROUTE - You must choose your route in such a way that, when coming from behind, you do not endanger others ahead.
OVERTAKING - Make sure that you leave enough room when overtaking others for any voluntary or involuntary movements that they may make.
ENTERING AND STARTING - When entering a marked run, or starting again after stopping, make sure that you look both up and down the run to ensure that you can do so without endangering yourself or other skiers.
STOPPING - Unless absolutely necessary, you must avoid stopping on the piste in narrow places or where visibility is restricted.
