FCO Advice for Skiers & Snowboarders

The FCO’s Ski Safety Tips Include

• Make sure you have travel insurance that provides cover for all of the winter sports activities you will be doing.
• Get fit. If you are not physically prepared for the activities you will be doing you are more likely to have an accident.
• Get the right equipment, including a well-fitting crash helmet and suitable clothing.
• Don't forget sunscreen.  You can get sun burnt in winter, especially in the mountains.
• Follow the International Ski Federation rules and guidance.
• Make sure you have a valid European Health Insurance Card.
• Alcohol and winter sports don't mix.
