Once you've decided to learn to ski, you must turn your attention to the most important for beginners, advanced students and "big shots" alike – the computer. The smallest mistake in your equipment or bad advice on the purchase can mean the difference between pleasure and misery, success or failure.
Clothes
The best advice I can give is that you must combine elegance and usefulness. Unfortunately, most of which seems elegant serves no useful, but the other party, to be practical, does not necessarily you should be inelegant.
Start with the feet. The boots should fit if your feet had made in them. When you buy a pair, try keep a pair of thick and thin pair of socks. Most shoes give a little in the course of time, especially those made of rawhide. For time to be fixed so difficult to achieve the objective which should be immediately annulled. Let me say at once Now that a pair of ski boots can not be a comfortable pair of dancing shoes.
It is absolutely essential that the foot securely in the trunk we sit and have a firm position. How the body can obtain a firm contact with the ski resort, if there is a game to start? Today, it is assumed that you wear long, slimming pants to prevent snow from entering the boots better than the most archaic of the four legs. A question important is whether today to choose gabardine or nylon. In recent years, I found nylon to be excellent. This material meets all the requirements of fashion conscious ladies.
Up the body heat and a jacket, a sweater and a parka or jacket is essential. It is advisable when you go on tour to wear these clothes because when the weather changes is much better to have too many clothes than too little. Gloves must never be forgotten. The guy with the fingers are the smartest although in very cold or covered ski gloves leather are more comfortable and better suited to their purposes. Same when it is hot you should never remove the gloves for the descent. The smallest drop can nasty graze on his hands caused by the fragile snow or rocks hidden.
Skis
The shape of the skis in recent years has been standardized. The very high rates have fallen through. Skis on sale today are often a combination model, a type of compound that was developed downhill ski slalom special used in skiing competitions.
The measures of this model in the range between 8.6 cm tip. and 9 cm in the center between 7 cm. and 7.4 cm, and between the heel of 7.8 cm. and 8.2 cm. Skiing for women and children must be in proportion to its height and, especially, much elasticity. The shorter skis are usually too rigid. The so-called short skis, which are very large, very can only recommend for the elderly (over sixty).
Links
As important as good shoes and ski well is the connection of the body by the ski boot. Everything that happens in the brain, each reaction must travel this course as fast as lightning and the union must remain strong. Downhill skiers Special purpose today: long straps to ensure their boots even stronger. They may be useful, but personally I never found a big difference and, as a normal skier, you will find a simple link to help you get a good grip on the heel will do.
Today, it there are safety cables and levers for that to fall forward, in other words, the pressure on the Achilles tendon and muscles can no longer support, can leave the Union.
Now you have the equipment, is ready to ski!
