The correct way to ski for beginners How to ski for beginners

1. First of all, you must prepare your ski clothes. Skiing has certain requirements for clothing. The top should be loose to facilitate sliding; the cuffs and trousers should be tapered and have adjustable elasticity to effectively prevent snow from entering; the neckline should be an upright high-neck opening.

2. Choose suitable ski boots, snowboards, and ski poles. Suitable boots should allow your shins, heels, and insteps to be gripped tightly without feeling pressure. Your ankle joints should be able to bend, and your toes should be able to bend. For movable traction, the boots and feet must become a whole. Just feel comfortable and move freely.

3. Secondly, when you first start practicing skiing, the most important thing is to master your balance. Practice on flat ground at the beginning, or practice slowly on gentler snow. Don't be anxious, and don't be afraid of falling. Falling is normal, until you can master the balance.

4. When sliding down, you should bend your knees slightly, and look straight into the distance naturally instead of staring at the tip of your snowboard. Don't look at the ground out of fear, but look in front of you, and keep your center of gravity forward instead of to the front. Finally, the calf should press the snow boots forward firmly. Hold the snow pole with both hands and raise it forward, with your elbows slightly bent. Remember not to put your gloves in the rope sleeve of the pole handle. This skiing posture is commonly known as the eight-character posture, which means the legs are bent to bear the character "eight"

5. You must also master the falling method and posture. If you fall down improperly, it will definitely cause very serious consequences. The correct way is to put your legs together and fall to one side. Because the front and rear parts of the snowboard are longer, it must be very dangerous to fall forward or backward. Therefore, falling to one side will protect the skier to the maximum extent. , it will also protect the skier’s knees to the greatest extent.

6. When gliding in a straight line, facing the direction you are about to glide, the top, bottom, left and right sides of the skis must be kept parallel, and the distance between the two boards must be the same width as the shoulders and knees. The upper body and knees are slightly tilted forward, and the hands holding the ski pole are placed naturally on the front of the thighs. The tip of the pole is placed 30 to 40 centimeters behind the back and below the ground, making a slight figure-eight shape from front to back; when taking off, use both arms to lift the tip of the pole. Support the ground behind both sides of the board and start sliding. When downhill, the force of the two snowboards must be even, look ahead, and relax your body and do not tense up.

7. When slowing down, put your legs outwards, and always be careful not to go too fast. When stopping, slow down slowly first. Once you brake suddenly, you may fall flat on your back! As for turning, if the body leans to the left, it will turn right, and if the body leans to the right, it will turn left.
