What to expect

Wear the helmet

It is the difference between a bad day and a serious one, and every rental has them. Most skiing injuries happen at low speed to beginners on easy ground.

Take the lesson before the slope

An hour of instruction is what turns a first day from falling over into skiing. Learning to stop and to fall safely, in that order, is the whole of it.

Stay inside the markers

Marked pistes are patrolled, checked and avalanche-controlled. The snow on the other side of the rope is none of those things, whatever it looks like.

The sun is stronger than it feels

Snow reflects most of the UV back at you and cold air hides the burn. Sunglasses or goggles rated for UV, and sunscreen on the underside of your chin as well as the top of your face.

Know when the last lift goes down

Being on the wrong side of a mountain at dusk in winter is a genuine emergency, not an inconvenience. Ask at the top station, not at the bottom.
