Just a few suggestions ....
Rush to aid of a young lady who seems to be having trouble getting her boot buckles fastened. All that bulky ski garb can make reaching the buckles troblesome at times.
If some one has fallen and is slow to get back up, just stay with them as they "get their head back on straight" Don't rush them to get going -- just be company to them and don't keep asking if they are all right. (Even if they aren't bleeding.)
Try not to ski on the snowboarders' blind side.
But the obvious thing we can do is spend hours in meditation, thinking of answers to help a fellow skier reach a goal so that he can get all the rest he may need.
Hope this helps Ellistine! Sleep well!!

I've always found that a "mention" of a white spot on the cheeks to a fellow skier an be the best thing a fellow can do. Something like "you have some blisters on your cheeks be careful". That white spot of skin may be frost bite!
When the skin freezes feeling is lost so the bearer may not be aware of the condition. The reason, the water in the skin freezes and causes a blister, when this thaws it is painful. Untreated the blister can burst with resultant peeling and such often associated with a burn. It hurts.
Don't be shy if you see a blister say something, your fellow skier may not be aware of the condition or know this symptom as he or she may be from a warmer climate.
Look for frost bite when the wind chills are high and the temperatures drop below about minus 15C. Look for white noses too. It's the ends of things that are exposed that get "blisters" first.
You may not get a thanks but you have the knowledge that you are doing good for a fellow skier. :wink:
PS I'm not a para-medic so if anyone else has some input on this idea please feel free to amend.
