Some basic Tips
Run/trail colour coding - Green slopes are the easiest, then blue, red and blacks are the most difficult. Ski with care and choose the right grade to start.
Dress Code - Stay warm! It is best to check the weather forecast every morning before you get dressed and ski.
Get sunglasses for the sun and goggles for the shade/cloud.
Have a thermal layer next to your skin instead of a cotton under layer.
Wear one pair of socks is enough- more will actually make your feet colder!
Make sure your outside layer is waterproof.
...
Protect your skin - from the sun, wind and cold!
Insurance - accidents can happen. Make you sure you get travel insurance that includes winter sports cover. CHT buy travel insurance for each client, but we still recommend you to take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any oversea medical cost at your home country.
