Let the skier ahead of you know which side you will be passing on for him or her to give way and which side to shift to. You can just call out to let the person know you will overtake him or her. You can simply say something like, “Right!” “On your left,” or “Left side.” With this signal, the skier ahead will have an idea that you are coming close behind them and collisions will be very much prevented.
