-We want to remind people that we all must take responsibility, and hope that people will follow the 10 rules of the Alpine Code of Conduct, says Camilla Sylling Clausen, General Secretary of the industry association of Norwegian alpine resorts and mountain destinations.

The Ski Patrols jobs are abundant - their focus is to safeguard the slopes. They cushion posts and snow cannons, install safety nets, they mark off parks including their jumps, and perform other damage mitigating measures such as daily inspections and maintenance. In addition signage and information about risks of avalanches are of importance where people go outside marked and secured pistes. The Ski Patrol are alerted during injuries, they perform first aid and transport the patients safely back down for further medical assistance when necessary.

-Luckily people are mostly aware of their own responsibilities. Use back protection and of course helmets, and be considerate of other guests, Camilla constitutes.

Then all that remains is to go and have fun out there!
