Easy on the slide! Don't be to speed, and keep the control
You have to be able to go and stop  wherever you want

be careful when you overtake: the other one can change his direction any time.and all of sudden

- Don't slide to close to the others.
- At a crossroad take care.and slow down

Respect the others

- Stand up back as soon as you can when you fell ( it is more dangerous on the ground)
- respect the markers, and follow the trackers rescuers' advices.
- You witness an accident? Call the rescue: the faster they might arrive the more efficients they might be.
-be even more aware when the slopes are crowded, hurting a young child is even more frequent.

On the lifts

- If you feel unstable to get off the lift don't, your board will touch the small red stick which will stop automatically.
- On the T bar tow don't neither slalom nor let the bar go in the middle of the slope you can hurt somebody
- Take off as fast as you can at the end of the Tbar tow to avoid the bar to hurt you on the head.

Snowpark : Rules

- Don't rush in the park, start with the easy slopeevery morning warm your body up even the best freestylers do that.
- When you are in the pipe and you turn is coming tell when you go.
-Don't take your time too long behind the snowpark's modules, take off as soon as you can, it would be too bad that you best friend hurt himself falling on your board!
- take it easy at first, you might be rejected of the "half pipe"
- Don't stop anywhere to watch you buddies, even a good one might fell where you don't expect them to.
