No more holiday in Italy with my skiing friends :-( I can't read German so I can't understand the document. As far as separate slopes goes, do they mean that there will be one or 2 separate slopes for each... or do they mean that the whole mountain must be divided into 2, and each group gets one half? What about snow-blades or snow-bikes? How do they fit in? It seems ironic that in a country where kids hurtle around on scooters tearing up the traffic in cities like Milan and Rome, that they would suddenly mandate the use of helmets for snowsports. - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow - Securing your e-mail The Snowboard FAQ lives here - http://rssFAQ.org/ |

It seems ironic that in a country where kids hurtle around on scooters tearing up the traffic in cities like Milan and Rome, that they would suddenly mandate the use of helmets for snowsports. They want 30 - 150 Euros if they catch a kid on the slope without a helmet. AFAIK you can ride a scooter without a helmet. -- Satisfy your thirst for life!

news:slrnc0sl6u.4n3.idontreadthis@yahoobb220004112 021.bbtec.net: On Tue, 20 Jan 2004 18:52:26 +0100, Jürgen Schmadlak said (and I quote): Nobody knows. The new law just says: seperate slopes for borders and skiiers. I can't believe that it really works. Something similar exists at many resorts in Japan. Some resorts will be comprised of a mostly "mixed" slopes (both skiers and snowboarders), with one or two slopes reserved for skiers only. These skier-only slopes tend to be of two types - expert slopes, and slopes where there are likely to be families with small children. In addition, there are many resorts here that don't allow snowboarding. These are often small resorts that are pitched at families, and they sometimes have the word "family" in the resort name. My impression is that the Japanese image of snowboarding is one of semi-criminality that is completely incompatible with families. Ah, that reminds me of 'Fear of a Flat Planet' (probably still one of the best snowboard films ever) - hiking the hill to poach runs in Japanese 'no snowboarder' resorts AC. |

In the future stricter rules prevail to January 2004 on Italian runways. After on Tuesday an entered into force law the local authorities must introduce separated departures for ski sportsmen and Snowboarder for the season in the coming year. Furthermore children must on carry crash helmets under 14 years from 1 January 2005 with winter sports. With offences fines threaten. According to the new law the municipalities are obligated to generally increase security on the runways in their catchment area. Otherwise fines up to 200.000 euro could be imposed upon to them. Necessarily clear regulations for overhauling maneuvers are therefore, the right of way to crossings and a any throttling of the speed. Concrete speed defaults are not intended however. Gelrailwaysussen for driving without Sturzhelm If children without crash helmets on the runways are found, their parents with fines between 30 and 150 euro can be sued. 250 to 1,000 euro can be raised, if accidents are not immediately indicated. Local police and forstbeamte are to supervise the adherence to the new rules. Ski teachers are demanded at the same time to hand Pistenrowdys to the authorities over. The Italian ski federation faces the law rather zwiespaeltig. Ski teachers fear, the obligation for the monitoring of the runways could divert her too much from instruction. Federation speaker Claudio Baldessari explained, intensified controls is meaningful, but could too many rules ambitionierte ski drivers in the future hold to drive into the Italian skiing areas. |
