Overtaking
A skier or snowboarder may overtake another skier/snowboarder if he/she leaves enough space for the overtaken skier/snowboarder to make any voluntary or involuntary movement. Race training is forbidden unless it is organized training within a club.
Entering slopes, starting and moving upwards in the slope
If you ski into, or turn upwards in the slopes, you have to make sure that this happens without any danger for yourself or others. The same applies for starting and stopping
Stopping
Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must avoid stopping in narrow places, and places with limited vision in the descent. If you fall in a place described, you must try to move away from the slope as soon as possible.
