10、Yan’an International Ski Resort

Skiing Precautions:

1. You should carefully understand the height, width, length, slope, and direction of the ski slope. Alpine skiing is a sport that takes place at high speed. What seems far away is right in front of your eyes in the blink of an eye. If skiers do not know the situation of the ski slope beforehand, they will not have time to react if an accident occurs during skiing, which is especially important for beginners.

2. Understand the opening hours of the ski lift, and do not ride without staff supervision. This is because it is very likely that this is the staff’s off-duty lift. After the staff arrives at the bottom station, the lift will stop running. If you are suspended in the air overnight, the probability of frostbite is very high.

3. Choose a ski slope suitable for your level, and don’t overestimate your own level and act recklessly. You should take things step by step, and it is best to have a ski instructor.

4. If you are unsure about the situation ahead during skiing, or feel that there is something wrong with your ski equipment, you should stop and check, do not take risks.

5. When skiing together, be sure to keep a distance from each other. Do not rush down to catch up with your companions, as this can easily lead to falls or collisions. Beginners are prone to this kind of accident.

6. When resting halfway, you should stop at the edge of the ski slope, not at the bottom of the steep slope, and pay attention to skiers skiing down from above.

7. If you lose control and fall during skiing, you should quickly lower your center of gravity and sit back. Do not struggle randomly. You can raise your limbs, bend your body, and let them slide down. You should avoid head-first, and absolutely avoid rolling.

8. Skiers with poor eyesight should not wear contact lenses when skiing. If you fall and your contact lenses fall out, the chance of finding them back is almost non-existent. Try to wear framed glasses made of resin lenses, as they are less likely to break when impacted.
