In the master's thesis, we analyzed the consequences of the new coronavirus on the further development of alpine skiing. Based on the facts so far, we proceeded from three possibilities of integrated adjustment of the operation of ski schools and clubs in cases of epidemiological phenomena. Scenario A assumes an epidemiological condition where restrictive measures are not required. Scenario B assumes an epidemiological condition with restrictive measures for the safe conduct of skiing activities. Scenario C assumes an epidemiological condition that is not suitable for the operation of ski schools and clubs. Given the objective circumstances and the current epidemiological picture in Slovenia, in the master's thesis, we focused on scenario B.
We proceeded from the general measures of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, which were slightly adapted to the circumstances and for use in learning alpine skiing. The measures relate to physical distancing, the use of protective face masks in cases where distance is not possible, and the care of personal hygiene, like handwashing and disinfection. The concept describes the different ways of teaching in ski schools (individual, group) and the work of clubs (trainings, competitions) together with the accompanying measures to ensure safety and prevent the spread of infections. Hours of learning in ski schools and training in clubs were further divided into smaller parts to ensure maximum safety. The reality shows that taking into account the necessary measures in the future, all types of learning and training of alpine skiing could be carried out in an adapted manner. The same applies to the implementation of winter schools in nature and the implementation of sports days in primary and secondary schools.
