Practicing skiing, ski touring, ski mountaineering and other
winter sports are hazardous activities, which involve risks of
injuries.
For all of your mountain trips, ensure maximal safe conditions
and verify the following:
•
Select a trip in accordance with your skills, always skiing in
a controlled fashion according to your skills and your physical
condition. Never overestimate your skills.
•
Always check weather and snow conditions before leaving.
•
Always follow information and signs in zone you are skiing.
•
Do not go touring or skiing if you feel tired or in poor
physical condition.
•
Do not go touring or skiing if you are taking medication, or
under the effects of alcohol or any other addictive product.
•
Always protect your skis and bindings while travelling (in a
ski bag for example), in order to protect them from dust, sand,
road salt or any other abrasive substances.
•
Always double-check your bindings and your equipment
before going skiing/touring. Make sure no foreign material
(dirt, gravel...) are found within the mechanism, both on toe
and heelpieces. Aforementioned foreign material can affect the
release mechanism of the binding if present in either toe or
heelpieces. If you have any doubt about the reliability of your
equipment, get it checked by a specialized dealer.
•
Never make any modifications to your bindings by yourself.
Any inappropriate use or modification can interfere with the
release capacity of the bindings.
•
Get your ski/boot/binding system serviced at least once a
year, more likely at the beginning of the season. (Global
functioning and release values)
•
The ski-stopper should be mounted directly on the ski.
Nothing should be placed between the ski and the accessory,
