The first Speedriding Regulations in Spain, and a set of rules for its practice, both within and outside of ski resorts. These regulations are compiled by FADA (Spanish Federation of Aerospace Sports). www.fada.aero (regulations) Specific regulations for practicing the activity. Speedriding Regulations in Cerler. Speedriding Regulations (2017). Definition of Speedriding. The sport of paragliding is evolving and specializing according to the branch. The most prominent, depending on the size of the glider, are: Paragliding, gliders larger than 18 square meters. Mini-paragliding, within which we can distinguish: Mini-paragliding, performance gliders, smaller than 18 square meters and larger than 15 square meters. Speedriding and Speedflying, gliders from 5 square meters to 18 square meters. Speedriding is a sport that combines mini-paragliding, also known as speedriding or speedflying, with skiing. The principle is to glide while remaining on the snow, sometimes alternating with flying. While skiing and gliding on the snow are the main elements of speedriding, the sport adapts to the slope, the orientation of the hillside, local regulations, and other factors that may affect the activity. Depending on the circumstances, flying may take precedence over skiing. Objective of the Speedriding Regulations. These regulations aim to govern the practice of speedriding in designated areas (ski resorts) and in other undeveloped areas outside of ski resorts. 2.1 Scope of Application. These regulations apply throughout the territory of the Spanish State. 2.2 Regulations of Regional Federations. The Air Sports Federations of the different Autonomous Communities integrated into the RFAE (Royal Spanish Air Force) may develop their own Speedriding Regulations or apply these. These Speedriding Regulations may not contradict or limit the RFAE Regulations. The regional federations must notify the RFAE of the entry into force of their own regulations and rules on Speedriding. 2.3 Reference Regulations. Sporting aspects not covered in these regulations will be governed by the RFAE Statutes and rules, and by the FIS skiing regulations. 2.4 Requirements for learning and practicing Speedriding. Anyone who meets the following requirements and obligations may practice Speedriding: Be of legal age. Minors over 14 years of age will require parental authorization. Not suffer from any injury or illness that prevents the practice of Speedriding. Be enrolled in a Speedriding School recognized by the RFAE or the corresponding regional federation. From the start of their sporting activity, that is, from the first day of the course, they must have a valid paragliding federation license. Upon completion of the training period at the School, they will become a member of a Speedriding Club, within which they will develop their subsequent training and sporting activity. They will obtain the "Speedriding Initiation Student" and "Speedriding Progression Student" certifications, and subsequently the "Speedriding Pilot" certification. FEDERATION CERTIFICATIONS. STUDENTS AND PILOTS. Any Speedriding practitioner during their training period until obtaining the "Speedriding Pilot" certification is considered a Student. Authorizations: To perform Speedriding in recognized Speedriding areas under the supervision of the instructors and monitors of the school where they are training. To fly with mini-paragliders, considered Speedriding or Speedflying gliders, no larger than 13 square meters and with BEGINNER or ADVANCED certification. Title “SPEEDRIDING STUDENT BEGINNER”. Requirements: Have a high skiing level “D”, meaning you can ski down red runs with your skis parallel without needing to think about them. Enroll in the “Speedriding Student Beginner” course at a Speedriding School recognized by the RFAE (Royal Spanish Ski Federation). Issuance of the “Speedriding Student Beginner” title: Upon successful completion of the practical course, the Speedriding school will certify the “Speedriding Student Beginner” level in the student's Logbook. For all purposes, this certificate will be recorded in the Logbook and will be considered the “Speedriding Student Beginner” title. Authorizations: The holder of the “Speedriding Student Beginner” title is authorized to: Perform speedriding in areas recognized for this level, with the guidance of the local school, or another pilot who holds at least the “Speedriding Instructor” title. The "Speedriding Beginner Student" certification only authorizes the use of Benginer or Advance certified equipment and does not authorize the use of Expert or Extreme certified gliders. "Speedriding Progression Student" certification. Requirements: Completion of the "Speedriding Beginner" course at a Speedriding School recognized by the RFAE (Royal Spanish Automobile Federation). Completion of at least 50 mixed descents in the beginner area, alternating between flying and skiing descents, recorded and certified in the student's logbook. Issuance of the "Speedriding Progression Student" certification: Upon successful completion of the practical course, the Speedriding school will certify the "Speedriding Progression Student" level in the student's logbook. This certificate will be recorded in the logbook and considered the "Speedriding Progression Student" certification.

Helmet suitable for paragliding. Radio transmitter. Anemometer. Two windsocks, one for takeoff and one for landing. First-aid kit. Appropriate premises and materials for delivering theoretical classes. The CTNPpte Teaching Area may expand or modify these requirements to guarantee the safety and quality of training, including these variations in the Speedriding School Recognition Application Form. Obligations of recognized Speedriding Schools: Comply with these regulations, maintaining the minimum requirements outlined. Sign a contract of rights and obligations with all students. Have a copy of the RFAE Speedriding Regulations available to students. Process the Federation License before the start of classes. Accept at least two trainee instructors per year. Have liability insurance that covers the school's activities. Speedriding Area: The Speedriding Area is understood to be the place where practical sessions are held for the courses corresponding to the "Speedriding Student Initiation" and "Speedriding Student Progression" levels. It will be a slope without any proximity to natural or artificial obstacles, with good visibility, no changes in gradient or narrowing, and with a suitable incline for the course. Requirements: The training area must be approved by the Federation for the school's recognition, and therefore must meet the following requirements. Slope for "Beginner Speedriding" courses: It must be a regular, continuous slope, without breaks in the terrain or obstacles between the take-off and landing areas. The speedriding area must be free of obstacles, with sufficient width and clear of obstructions. Easy access will allow for rapid assistance and evacuation in case of an accident. The speedriding school will have the appropriate permits from the landowner or concession holder of the land where the training area is located for the development of its activity. Slope for "Advanced Speedriding" courses: A slope without breaks or obstacles. The take-off and landing areas must have sufficient surface area and be free of obstacles. Convenient access that allows for rapid assistance and evacuation in case of an accident. The Speedriding school will have the appropriate permits from the landowner or concession holder of the land where the school area is located for the development of its activity. The same school area may only be used by a maximum number of schools, beyond which the safety of the students and the quality of instruction would be jeopardized. The Speedriding Course. The Speedriding Course is the set of regulated instruction that the student undertakes to learn and perfect the technique of downhill speedriding and the knowledge of the necessary disciplines, primarily aerodynamics and meteorology. It is taught at Speedriding Schools by Speedriding Instructors and Monitors. Through the completion of the Speedriding Courses and after the required practice runs, the student will be eligible to take the exam for the "Speedriding Pilot" certification. Curriculum. The Speedriding Course curriculum is divided into two parts: - "Speedriding Introductory Student" Course. This introductory course aims to teach the basic techniques for piloting a speedriding paraglider while descending on skis. Students will progress to low-altitude flights guided by the instructor in calm weather conditions. Theoretical classes: Basic meteorology knowledge. Basic aerodynamics knowledge. Basic paragliding piloting techniques. Speedriding regulations and traffic rules. Flight equipment and materials. Practical classes: Level 1: Practice inflating the speedriding wing on a gentle slope. The objective is to familiarize students with the feeling of the wing's pressure before their first descents. Diagonal descents to regulate speed and learn to brake. Radio-guided descents. Level 2: Linking diagonal descents without losing control and at a constant speed. Radio-guided descents. Level 3 Flights, progressing from diagonal descents to direct descents with the aim of gradually increasing flight time. Areas suitable for beginners, with a gentle slope. Flights guided by radio. The introductory course will last a minimum of four days. "Speedriding Student Progression" Course: Its objective is to refine the basic Speedriding piloting techniques acquired in the introductory course. The student will be able to perform high-altitude flights without radio guidance, independently deciding on takeoff times, glide or descent paths, approach and landing maneuvers, in non-turbulent aerodynamic conditions. They will also be able to independently follow a descent plan predetermined by the instructor, either for flying or ski gliding. Minimum theoretical content: - Aerology applied to Speedriding. - Selecting ideal flying conditions. - Traffic regulations. Traffic regulations for ridge soaring. - Paraglider aerodynamics. - Emergency situations in Speedriding. Minimum practical content. - Landing selection and approach outside the official landing zone. - Dynamic lift flight technique. - Actions in emergency situations and rapid descent maneuvers. The basic advanced course will have a minimum duration of five days. The Flight Logbook. Each Speedriding pilot will have a personal flight logbook from the moment they begin their training. This logbook will be separate from their paragliding logbook. They will record all their descents in it, which will be duly certified by instructors. The Flight Logbook will serve as certification of the number of flights required to obtain the "Speedriding Pilot" license. The Flight Logbook will be issued by the RFAE (Royal Spanish Aeronautical Federation) through the corresponding regional federation and given to the student with their first federation license. Subsequent Flight Logbooks may be requested as the previous ones are completed, and these will remain in the pilot's possession. The student's progress record. Recognized schools will use a progress card system to monitor their students' learning. 6. FLIGHT RULES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1.

First Speedriding Regulations in Spain, and a set of rules for its practice, both within and outside a ski resort. Speedriding Regulations. The regulations are compiled by FADA. www.fada.aero (regulations). SPEEDRIDING Regulations Cerler. Code of conduct of Aramón Cerler, Speedriding.es and FADA, for Speedriders within the ski resort (2017 version). Guide to Rules for Speedriding within the Cerler ski resort. To practice Speedriding independently within the Cerler ski resort, the Speedrider must meet the following requirements for their safety and the safety of others. Federation License. It is mandatory to possess a valid federation license, issued through an official Speedriding school, or through FADA. Alternatively, liability insurance will be valid, clearly specifying that it covers the Speedriding activity. Even with a Federation License, you will need to have completed a course with a Speedriding school to participate in the activity. For level validation, contact the Speedriding school. Resort Insurance: You must purchase the slope insurance offered by the resort when you buy your lift pass. Speedriding Certification: It is mandatory to hold one of the following certifications. The Speedriding school will issue the certifications corresponding to the courses taught and the Speedrider's level, such as: "Speedriding Beginner Student," a student certification that only allows you to Speedrid in the Cogulla area. "Speedriding Progressive Student," a student certification that allows you to Speedrid in the Cogulla and Canal Amplia areas. "Speedriding Pilot," an independent pilot certification that allows you to Speedrid in the Cogulla and Canal Amplia areas. The specifications for these certifications are detailed in the Speedriding Regulations. "Speedrider without certification": Speedriders who wish to validate their certifications must demonstrate their speedriding experience level. To do so, they must book a level test with the official speedriding school and meet their requirements. Identification bib: To access the ski lifts with speedriding equipment, we must wear a numbered identification bib, which will be provided by the speedriding school. The bib will make us visible to ski lift operators and ski patrollers and will indicate that we are aware of and meet the requirements for the activity. The bib is personal and cannot be given to third parties under any circumstances. There is a €20 deposit for the bib, which will be refunded once the bib is returned in perfect condition at the end of the activity. Registration list: It is mandatory for speedriders to register on the registration list available at the base of the "El Molino" ski resort. In the registration form, you will need to fill in the following sections: Name, Surname, ID Number, Telephone, Email, Date (to be filled in for each day of the activity). Speedriding identification vest (the Speedriding school will provide a €10 deposit, which will be refunded once the vest is returned in perfect condition). Sail size to be used (none longer than 13 meters are permitted). The equipment must be in perfect condition, including ski equipment and helmet. Sail color. Predominant color. Radio (we will have a common frequency to be located). Failure to comply with any of the regulations in this document could result in the permanent suspension of your ski pass for Speedriding within the resort. Rules of Conduct for Speedriding in Cerler: 1. Respect for others. The Speedrider must behave in a way that does not endanger or harm others. Skiers/snowboarders, ski tourers, snowmobilers, or others not specified herein have priority over us (Speedriders), and we must not impede their passage or trajectory, nor encroach on the space around them by at least 20 meters. 2. Control of speed and skiing/flying style. The Speedrider must ski/fly in a controlled manner. They must adapt their speed and skiing/flying style to their personal ability and the general conditions of the terrain, snow, and weather, as well as the traffic density in the area designated for the activity. Zero Slopes: Within the areas designated for Speedriding, it is prohibited to descend on the "Zero Slopes" ski runs, fly over the slope, or obstruct the passage of skiers. 3. Priority. Priority will always be given to other users of the resort: skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers, ski tourers, or others not specified herein. The Speedrider has priority over other Speedriders. The Speedrider moving behind must choose its route in such a way as not to endanger the Speedrider in front. Speedriders who encounter others at takeoff are obligated to ascertain the glider sizes of their companions and determine who has the greatest wing loading. The takeoff order will then be determined as follows: first the Speedriders with less finesse, and last the Speedriders with greater finesse. The Speedrider already in the takeoff area preparing their equipment will have priority over those who arrive later. If this Speedrider with priority is slower preparing their equipment than those ahead, they will courteously yield the right of way. The Speedrider ahead who is landing or preparing their approach will have priority, and we must not block their path or perform any maneuver that obstructs them. 4. Overtaking. Overtaking will primarily be due to a glider with a greater wing loading, resulting from glider size, pilot weight, glider profile and level, or other factors. These are factors we must consider to establish an order for a multiple takeoff and prevent overtaking or obstruction. Overtaking can The move can be made from above or below, right or left, but always in a way that leaves enough space to prevent voluntary or involuntary movements of the leading Speedrider. 5. Entering the designated area, starting the slide, and turns in various directions. Every Speedrider within the designated area must begin the activity in the area marked as "Takeoff" and must finish the descent in the "Landing" area. If, due to a failure at the start or a fall during the descent, we have to readjust the equipment and start again outside the "Takeoff" area, we must resume the descent after stopping and looking up, down, and behind us to ensure that we can do so without danger to ourselves or others, and never on the slopes or obstructing the passage of skiers. If the latter occurs, we must pack up the equipment and look for another, more suitable location, and if this location is not suitable, even abandon the Speedriding descent and ski down. 6. Stops on the slopes. Unless absolutely necessary, the Speedrider You must avoid stopping in narrow passages or areas with reduced visibility within the designated Speedriding zones. In case of a fall in such areas, you must move out of the way and clear the area as quickly as possible. 7. Ascents and descents on foot. Speedriders ascending or descending on foot must do so on the side of the slope. 8. Respect for markings and signage. Speedriders must respect all signs and markings. Slopes 0. Although the designated Speedriding area is prohibited on slopes (Slopes 0), this does not mean we should disregard the markings and signage of the ski resort. In case of conflict between markings, signage, and the condition of the area, we must consult the resort before undertaking the activity or descent. The ski resort, its management, ski patrollers, or other resort staff, as well as the Speedriding school in charge of organizing the activity, will have the final say regarding any possible contradictory information about the activity, which we must respect, and we must offer our assistance. For your reference and clarification. 9. Flying in the Speedriding Zone. Speedriding is a sport where skiing takes precedence over flying; therefore, the activity will be carried out with gliders designed for this sport, including Speedflying gliders with a maximum size of 13 square meters. Paragliders or mini-paragliders are not permitted for this activity. Speedflying or Speedriding gliders must be smaller than the indicated size of 13 square meters. Flying in the Speedriding Zone is for those who demonstrate the necessary skill level and are certified to participate in the activity in this zone. Each zone corresponds to a specific Speedriding level. It is prohibited to fly at the level of the slopes, cross slopes, fly outside the designated Speedriding Zone, approach chairlifts, snow cannons, or other infrastructure within the ski area. We may only fly over a mandatory section of the slope to reach our landing zone at a minimum altitude of 50 meters. The flight must be suitable for our level and we will not endanger others or ourselves with our actions. 10. Use of ski lifts. The Speedriding glider must be properly packed in its carrying bag or zip tie so that it can be transported without hindering the proper functioning of the ski lifts. 11. Other flight rules. Flying is prohibited after sunset. If flying within the ski area, we must respect the ski resort's opening hours and not remain within the ski area after closing time. The minimum visibility for flying is 1.5 km. 13. Air traffic between Speedriders. Priority to the Speedrider in front. Priority to the Speedrider on the right. Priority to the Speedrider on the left if the latter is unable to change course due to proximity to the slope. Overtaking on the right between Speedriders. The overtaking pilot has priority once they have passed the overtaken pilot. The overtaking Speedrider will not impede the landing approach of the other Speedrider. ahead, and will respect sufficient space in case the person being overtaken unexpectedly changes direction. 12. Providing assistance. In case of an accident, every Speedrider has the responsibility to provide assistance, always without causing further risk or injuring themselves. While descending, if we see someone injured, we must choose to continue our descent to the landing and notify the ski patrol and mobilize help. There is no point in trying to land earlier, creating a danger to others or injuring ourselves. 13. Identification. All Speedriders who witness an accident, whether or not they are responsible for it, must identify themselves and exchange names and addresses. 14. Information. The Speedrider has the obligation to inform themselves at the ski resort or through the channel provided by the resort, to know the condition of the Speedriding area, the regulations, and any internal rules for carrying out the activity. GENERAL COMMENTS ON THE SPEEDRIDING CODE OF CONDUCT (2017) Speedriding, like all sports, involves risks. The Speedriding Regulations should be considered an ideal model of conduct for responsible speedriders and their objective is to prevent accidents in designated areas. The Speedriding rules apply to all speedriders, who must know and respect them. When non-compliance with these rules causes an accident, the responsible party may be held civilly or criminally liable. Rule 1: The speedrider is responsible not only for their own conduct but also for any defective equipment. This also applies to those using state-of-the-art equipment. Rule 2: Collisions are usually caused by disorder at takeoff (sail thinness), crossings during landing, excessive speed, uncontrolled behavior, or insufficient attention to traffic in the designated area. Speedriders must be able to anticipate their movements in the environment, prioritize their own safety and the safety of others, and be responsible for their actions. In congested areas or places where visibility is reduced, and especially at changes in gradient, at the end of designated areas, We must moderate our speed, and even abandon the activity if it is not possible to descend without compromising our safety or the safety of others. Rule 3: Speedriding is a free-flowing sport where everyone can go wherever they like within the designated area (which has a starting point or "takeoff" and a finishing point or "landing"), respecting these rules and adapting their speedriding style to their personal abilities and the existing conditions on the mountain. The speedrider in front has the right of way. The speedrider riding behind another in the same direction must maintain a sufficient distance between themselves and the other speedrider, leaving the one in front enough space to move freely. Rule 4: A speedrider overtaking another assumes the responsibility of completing the maneuver without causing any difficulty to the speedrider being overtaken. This rule applies even when overtaking a stationary speedrider. We must anticipate our arrival at the end point of the designated area so as not to obstruct each other during the approach to landing. Do it safely. Rule 5. Accessing the designated area or restarting the descent after a stop can cause accidents. It is therefore absolutely necessary that a Speedrider in this situation access the designated area without causing obstructions and without endangering themselves or others. Once the descent has resumed—even slowly—the Speedrider benefits from the priority established in Rule 3 over other, faster Speedriders approaching from above or behind. During a Speedriding descent, due to the movement in multiple dimensions, some turns or changes of direction may even be made uphill. It is therefore mandatory to ensure in advance that they can do so without endangering themselves or others. Rule 6. Whenever possible, we will try not to stop during the descent; we will stop in the area marked as "Landing." If this is not possible, stops must be made at the edges of the designated area. Stopping in narrow places or where it is difficult to be seen from above is prohibited. Rule 7. Moving against the general flow of traffic creates unforeseen obstacles for other speedriders. Footprints damage the slope and are dangerous for skiers, snowboarders, and other speedriders. Rule 8. Designated areas are marked according to their decreasing level of difficulty: Freeride, Advanced, Progression, Beginner. Speedriders are free to choose their desired area, provided they possess the necessary certification and skill level to perform the activity without endangering themselves or others, and that external conditions are suitable (calm winds). Designated areas may or may not be marked with hazard or closure warnings. Slope closure or hazard warning signs must be strictly obeyed. Speedriders must assume that warning signs are placed in their own best interest. If no signs are posted, speedriders are responsible for checking the status of the speedriding area with the resort, speedriding school, or through the channel provided by the resort. Rule 9. A fundamental principle for all athletes obliges them to provide assistance in case of an accident, regardless of any legal obligation. This consists of providing first aid to the injured person, alerting the rescue service, and marking the accident site to warn other speedriders, skiers, and snowboarders. The Speedriding Regulations and the FIS regulations in force at the resort expect that a speedrider who flees without identifying themselves after causing an accident will incur criminal liability, as is the case with traffic accidents, and that all countries whose legislation has not yet classified this as a crime will eventually impose equivalent penalties. Rule 10. Witnesses are of great importance for writing a complete and accurate accident report, so everyone must fulfill this moral duty as a responsible person and report as a witness. Reports from the rescue services and the police, as well as photographs, greatly help in determining any potential liability. Rule 11. The speedrider has the obligation to obtain information from the ski resort, the speedriding school, or through the available channel. the resort, to find out the status of the Speedriding area, the regulations, and any internal rules for carrying out the activity. This Speedriding Regulations are based, in addition to the Paragliding Regulations that may apply to the activity, on the International Ski Federation's (FIS) Rules of Conduct for skiers, adapted to our Speedriding activity: 1. Respect for others. The Speedrider must fly/ski in a way that does not endanger or harm others. 2. Respect for signage, direction, and Speedriding technique. The skier must respect the signage. 3. Choice of the designated area. In the Speedriding area, the Speedrider must ensure the safety of others and themselves during the activity, taking into account the snow conditions, weather conditions, visibility, and the number of people on the slopes. These reasons, or others not mentioned here, are sufficient to abandon the activity. Speedriders in groups must be aware of the finesse required. of their Speedriding equipment with its wing loading, so as not to obstruct each other, especially on the final approach to landing. During the flight, we must maintain a safe distance to be able to move freely. 4. Overtaking. Overtaking can be done on the right or on the left, but the overtaking Speedrider is not obliged to yield the right-of-way, although they should allow a faster Speedrider to pass whenever possible. 5. Crossings. A Speedrider crossing paths with another Speedrider traveling in the opposite direction must avoid the crossing by turning to their right. The descending Speedrider has priority. If, due to approach to an obstacle or slope, one of the two cannot turn to their right, the Speedrider traveling in the opposite direction must anticipate the right-hand evasion, even if they are descending and have priority. In this circumstance, they would lose priority, and the safety of both would prevail. The first Speedrider would maintain their straight trajectory. 6. Speed Control. The Speedrider must adapt their speed to their skill level. skiing conditions, the conditions of the designated area, visibility, and the level of saturation of the area. The Speedrider must maintain a safe distance from other Speedriders ahead. As a last resort, they must opt for a top-landing to avoid a collision with another Speedrider. 7. Stops. A Speedrider who stops must leave the path of other Speedriders or skiers. In case of a fall, they must clear the path without delay. 8. Accidents. In case of an accident, every Speedrider has a duty to provide assistance. 9. Identification. Every Speedrider involved in an accident, whether as a witness, responsible party, or not, must clearly identify themselves. 10. Information. The Speedrider has the obligation to stay informed at the ski resort or through the channel provided by the resort, to know the status of the Speedriding area, the regulations, and any internal rules for carrying out the activity. THESE RULES MAY BE UPDATED OR MODIFIED. IT IS THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE INFORMED OF CHANGES

* Ask at the ski resort or the Speedriding school. At the ski resort or the Speedriding school, we can inform you about how to do the activity and the condition of the designated areas. The resort's signage, as well as the instructions of its staff, are vital for the smooth operation and harmony of the resort; we must respect them. The ski resort may close areas for various reasons, and we shouldn't assume that flying over the slopes doesn't affect us. If a slope is closed, it's also closed for our activity. The Speedriding areas are limited, and it is the user's responsibility to be informed about them, their condition, permitted uses, the starting and ending points, and how to proceed with the activity. * Speedriding Areas (Zone 1 and Zone 2). Introductory courses are held in Zone 1. Progression and freeride courses are held in Zones 1 and 2. Upon completion of the courses, students will be authorized to practice the activity independently in the zone corresponding to the course they completed, provided they have met the minimum course objectives. * Regulations and rules. There are Speedriding Regulations and rules for its practice that we must be familiar with. These are published by FADA and on this website. * Federation License (FADA) or APPI Insurance: It is mandatory to have valid insurance covering the activity to participate in Speedriding at the Cerler ski resort. You are free to obtain insurance from any provider, but it must specifically cover the "Speedriding" activity. FADA (Aragonese Air Federation) offers a federation license that covers the activity in case of incidents and accidents with third parties. Students enrolled in our school will receive APPI Speedriding certification and can also opt for the APPI license (www.appifly.org). * Identification vests for the "Speedriders Free" activity: To prevent potential accidents or the misuse of the Cerler ski resort facilities, we provide identification vests for anyone wishing to practice speedriding/speedflying independently within the resort area. These vests are free of charge, with a €10 deposit that will be refunded upon arrival. The vests will be returned at the end of the activity. They will be provided for one day of use. When you return these vests through Speedriding.es, we will inform you of the designated areas for the activity. The activity is prohibited outside these areas. Ski patrollers and resort staff will recognize us as Speedriders to keep track of us, as the largest area for the activity is off-piste, and they will easily identify us if we need assistance. Conversely, anyone participating in the activity without the vest or outside the designated areas may have their pass revoked. REQUIREMENT: You must have completed speedriding courses at our school or demonstrate prior experience in the activity, as we will be practicing near the resort's ski lifts and skiers. Speedriding.es is not responsible for any accidents that may occur to participants.
