When hazards are identified on the hill, what should be done?

Explanation:
When hazards are identified, the priority is to communicate what you see and adjust the plan accordingly. Let the group know what the hazard is, how it affects their run, and how the lesson will change to stay safe. Then adapt the lesson: select safer terrain if possible, slow down, increase spacing, and modify tasks or drills to fit the conditions, or pause if needed. This keeps students informed and in control of the situation, reducing risk while still guiding the learning. Ending the lesson immediately isn’t always necessary; moving everyone without a plan can shift risk elsewhere, and ignoring hazards is unsafe.
