Late autumn is coming to an end and winter is coming. People's favorite sport in winter is skiing. For those who don’t know how to ski, skiing can be an easy way to get injured. Before skiing, you must learn about skiing carefully. Here is a ski guide recommended for everyone. I believe you will have a certain understanding of skiing after reading this.
The question of where to ski
The design and facility configuration of the ski resort are factors we need to consider. There are large ski resorts in China with complete facilities and reasonable slopes such as Chongli, Yabuli, Changbai Mountain, and Urumqi, but these ski resorts are more attractive to skiers with a certain level of skill.
For novices, it will become an embarrassing situation of wasting a lot of time, spending a lot of money, walking all the way up the mountain, but can only hang out in the junior area at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the figure gliding rapidly on the mountain, I can only say that I am worried! Therefore, affordable and well-equipped snowfields located around the city are the best choice to get started.
The problem of skating on single and double boards
Skating and double boarding are the same, but each has its own preferences. Let me give you a brief introduction to single boards and double boards. As for the final choice, it still depends on you.
Let’s talk about double boards first. The advantage of snowboarding is that it is easy to get started, and the standing gliding posture is also in line with people's natural posture. The easier-to-learn plow brakes also allow beginners to better control speed or stop sliding. But if you want to go further, you need to practice harder and longer. It’s easy to hit a bottleneck after learning to plow.
As for snowboarding, it was difficult at first. Because snowboarding is more difficult to balance, beginners need a long time of practice and familiarity. However, once you learn the basics and advance, it won't be as difficult as skiing. You can rub any kind of slope. As for those who say that snowboarding is more handsome, I can only say that you must have never seen double-boarding freestyle.
Skiing safety issues
It doesn’t matter whether you ski well or not. The most important thing in skiing is safety. Just like you must abide by traffic rules when driving on the road, you must abide by the corresponding rules when skiing in the snowfield. If you don’t know, you can search the top ten safety rules set by the International Ski Federation on the Internet, and then follow them first.
Of course, this alone is not enough. Take driving as an example. You drive well, but others may hit you. What about other accidents? The same goes for skiing. You don't have to follow the rules. Equipping safety protection equipment is also an important means to protect your own safety. So which equipment is more suitable for novices?
Problems with purchasing equipment
Underwear. In the snowfield where everyone is bundled up, nothing can express your personality better than snow clothes and pants. Therefore, when choosing snowwear and snow pants, in addition to the basic waterproof and warm performance, you also need to consider how to feel comfortable, how to look good, and how to release your own personality.
Snow helmet. A ski helmet is an important piece of equipment to ensure your safety, and it is also one of the must-have pieces of equipment for every ski resort. When buying a ski helmet, you should not only check whether it has passed safety certification, but also choose a product specially designed for Asian heads. Many helmets online are designed according to Western human heads. Not only is this helmet uncomfortable to wear, but its protective properties are also greatly reduced.
Snow goggles. For example, you will know how important ski goggles are. Some time ago, a girl suffered from snow blindness because she was skiing without wearing ski goggles. As a result, she was stimulated by the bright light. Ski goggles can not only reduce glare stimulation, but also prevent fogging while skiing. Pay attention to the Asian version when purchasing, otherwise there may be a large gap at the bridge of the nose.
Gloves. I remember I went skiing some time ago and a friend forgot to wear gloves. At first, I didn't think anything was wrong, but I soon discovered that I couldn't skate without gloves because it was so cold. Not only that, because your hands often come into contact with the ground when skiing, the wear resistance of the gloves is also very important.
