STAY SAFE
We have prepared a rescue plan for the Finnish authorities and a crisis communication plan. The most important points are below for the Interski Levi 2023 participants.
SLOPE SAFETY
On the slopes, each and every one is responsible for keeping the slopes safe and enjoyable for everybody: when everyone follows the rules, all of us can feel safe and enjoy the day on the slopes. It is a priority for us to keep our slopes safe and to continuously develop the safety of all of our operations.
SKI PATROL WORKS TO KEEP YOU SAFE
Ski Patrol (with red jackets) patrol the slopes and works to ensure your safety when skiing. The patrollers offer advice on safe skiing, work proactively to keep the slopes safe and enjoyable for everyone, and respond to emergencies and rescue missions.
SLOPE FIRST-AID
Our first-aid staff operates from the ski rentals of Zero Point and South Point. Both of our snowmobile units are equipped with emergency gear and are driven by an experienced driver accompanied by a trained healthcare professional. In case of emergency, ask for assistance from the first-aid staff, ski patrol or our staff at the lifts.
112 SUOMI EMERGENCY APP
We highly recommend installing the 112 Suomi mobile app because it makes it easy for the emergency personnel to find you. With the app you can call to the national emergency telephone number with a push of a button and the app will automatically share your GPS coordinates with the emergency center during your call.
RECCO
We also use the RECCO Advanced Rescue Technology (RECCO.COM). The RECCO system is used by ski resorts and rescue teams when searching for people who are lost or buried in an avalanche. The RECCO reflector will ping back the signal sent from the search party's RECCO search device.
DRONES
Flying remote-controlled drones over the slopes during the opening hours is strictly forbidden. In expectional circumstances, including advertising film shoots, you may apply for a special permission in advance by contacting Head of Security heikki.saarensalmi@levi.fi. When skiing, always steer clear and keep an adequate distance to moving snowcats and snowmobiles on the slopes.
