• 

  1

  LOW

  SNOWPACK STABILITY: The snowpack is well bonded in most steep. LIKELIHOOD OF TRIGGERING: The triggering of avalanches are generally possible only with high overload (***) on very few steep (*). Only small avalanches can occur spontaneously. Travel is generally safe. Normal caution advised.

• 

  2

  MODERATE

  SNOWPACK STABILITY: In some (**) steep slopes, the snowpack is only moderately stable, elsewhere it is stabilized. LIKELIHOOD OF TRIGGERING: Triggering possible mainly by high overhead (***) and some slopes generally described in the bulletin. Some natural avalanches of large scale are not waiting.

• 

  3

  CONSIDERABLE

  SNOWPACK STABILITY: In many (**) steep slopes, the snowpack is weakly bonded. LIKELIHOOD OF TRIGGERING: Triggering possible, sometimes even with low overhead and many sides mountain, especially those generally described in the bulletin. Under certain conditions, some spontaneous avalanche medium, and sometimes quite large, are possible.

• 

  4

  HIGH

  SNOWPACK STABILITY: The snowpack is weakly bonded in most (**) on steep slopes. LIKELIHOOD OF TRIGGERING: Triggering probable even with low overhead (***) in many steep slopes. In some situations, many natural avalanches sized and sometimes large are expected.

• 

  5

  EXTREME

  SNOWPACK STABILITY: The unstable snowpack is widespread. LIKELIHOOD OF TRIGGERING: Numerous large natural avalanches are expected, including moderately steep terrain.

1. Respect for others
A skier or snowboarder must behave in such a way that he does not endanger
or prejudice others.

2. Control of speed and skiing or snowboarding
A skier or snowboarder must move in control. He must adapt his speed and
manner of skiing or snowboarding to his personal ability and to the prevailing
conditions of terrain, snow and weather as well as to the density of traffic.

3. Choice of route
A skier or snowboarder coming from behind must choose his route in such a
way that he does not endanger skiers or snowboarders ahead.

4. Overtaking
A skier or snowboarder may overtake another skier or snowboarder above or
below and to the right or to the left provided that he leaves enough space for the
overtaken skier or snowboarder to make any voluntary or involuntary
movement.

5. Entering, starting and moving upwards
A skier or snowboarder entering a marked run, starting again after stopping or
moving upwards on the slopes must look up and down the slopes that he can
do so without endangering himself or others.

6. Stopping on the piste
Unless absolutely necessary, a skier or snowboarder must avoid stopping on
the piste in narrow places or where visibility is restricted. After a fall in such a
place, a skier or snowboarder must move clear of the piste as soon as possible.

7. Climbing and descending on foot
A skier or snowboarder either climbing or descending on foot must keep to the
side of the piste.

8. Respect for signs and markings
A skier or snowboarder must respect all signs and markings.
