What to do at the
scene of an accident?
Check to see how bad the injuries are and check to
see if first aid is required.
If the injury is not serious , help the person back
down the mountain.
However , if the injury is serious , place markers
several metres uphill of where the injured person
is lying . Cross your skis upright in the snow or
your snowboard .
Release the casualty’s bindings, leave the boots
on unless there is a particular need
to remove them . Put them in the recovery position
– on their side – only if you are certain
they have no skeletal injury. Keep them as warm as
possible.
If you are more than one person , one of you should
go and get help , the nearest lift operator will be
able to contact the ski patrol.
