2) Adapt your speed to the conditions
You must ride in control and adapt your speed and riding style to your skill, the terrain, weather, snow conditions and traffic.
3) Duty to give way
Whoever comes from behind is responsible for riding in such a way that they don't expose others to a collision.
4) Overtaking and schussing
You may overtake another skier or snowboarder provided that person is given sufficient space for both controlled and uncontrolled movements. Schussing straight down is forbidden, except during organised training.
5) Starting, entering or turning uphill on the run
If you enter, or turn uphill on, a run, you must make sure this happens without danger to yourself or others. The same applies to riding after stopping.
6) Stopping on the run
Unless absolutely necessary, you should avoid stopping on the run in narrow places or places with limited visibility. After a fall in such a place, you should move away as quickly as possible.
