Two safety reminders:
Always have snow chains with you, a full fuel tank, or a fully charged battery if your vehicle is electric, appropriate equipment/clothing, and supplies like some food and water. Snow tires do not grip on smooth ice?when you notice this, stop and put on the chains.
Ski with controlled speed, and when descending the slope, avoid and give priority to those below you. If you want to stop, choose to do so at the edges of the slope, not in the middle.
