Safety Codes


We want you to enjoy yourself as much as possible whilst you are visiting Swadlincote Ski and Snowboard Centre. Therefore we would like to draw your attention to the safety codes that must be followed during your visit.

FIS Ski-way code

  • Respect for others
    Be aware of all skiers/snowboarders around you and do not endanger them.
  • Control of speed
    Only ski/ snowboard within the limits of your ability, and be sure you can always stop safely.
  • Choice of route
    Pick your route carefully and be prepared to handle changing situations with skiers/ snowboarders and the mountain itself.
  • Overtaking
    Always allow space for others to make their turns and remember that skiers/ snowboarders ahead of you have the right of way.
  • Starting or entering a piste
    Look up or down the run and ensure space to avoid other skiers/ snowboarders paths.
  • Stopping on the piste
    Always stop at the side of the piste, away from narrow places, blind corners or sudden drops. After a fall, move quickly to the side.
  • Climbing & descending on foot
    If this is necessary, keep to the side, near piste makers.
  • Respect for signs & markers
    Always obey signs. They provide vital information for you and your safety on the mountain.
  • Assistance at accidents & identification
    Understand accident procedures and be prepared to help. Witnesses must provide names and addresses.
