- A skier being overtaken should vacate the grooves if requested to do so.
- When overtaking and passing other skiers, keep your poles close to your body.
- Pass other skiers on the right.
- On trails with just one pair of grooves, the skier going downhill has right of way.

- Adapt your technique and speed to the local terrain, your level of proficiency, the condition of the trail, visibility and density of traffic on the trail.
- Keep a safe distance from the skier in front of you.
- If you stop, step out of the grooves. If you fall, try to get out of the grooves as soon as possible.
