Skiing, a winter sport, has become increasingly popular in recent years. For skiing newbies, what should you pay attention to during your first ski trip? What are the essential equipment you need? See below for details.
Essential Equipment
Gloves: Please be sure to bring gloves! Because your hands will be very cold if they fall on the snow;
Hat: It’s best to wear a hat that can be fixed to your head and won’t easily fall off;
Snow Goggles: The sunlight on the snow is very strong. It is recommended to wear snow goggles or sunglasses;
Clothing: It is recommended not to wear very thick underwear. The best outerwear choice is a windbreaker or down jacket;
Neck gaiter: Not a scarf, but a neck gaiter, or an outdoor magic scarf;
Snacks: Skiing is a very physically demanding activity, so it’s important to replenish your energy;
Sunscreen: The sunlight on the snow is strong, so it is recommended to apply sunscreen.
Precautions
1. Beginners should first learn basic skiing techniques. Ask an experienced ski instructor to provide you with systematic training. Beginners should choose ski slopes that are not too steep. Around 6 degrees is best. The ski slope should be wide, about 50 meters wide. There should be a chairlift to transport skiers (a tow lift is not conducive to skiers resting).
2. When skiing, be sure to keep a certain distance from others to avoid collisions. When there are many people, adjust your speed, don’t go too fast or too hard.
3. Skiing is a complex sport. You should do some simple warm-up exercises before skiing.
4. Skiers with poor eyesight should not wear contact lenses while skiing. If they fall and the contact lens falls out, it is almost impossible to find it. It is best to wear glasses with frames made of resin lenses. They are not easy to break when they are hit.
5. If you are not sure about the situation ahead while skiing, or if you feel that your ski equipment is abnormal, you should stop and check. Don’t take risks.
