Selecting Proper Equipment

Selecting Proper Equipment

Before hitting the slopes, it's essential to ensure that your ski equipment is in good condition and suitable for your level and body type. Check that the bindings are properly adjusted, the skis are waxed and sharpened, and the helmet and goggles are comfortable and meet safety standards. Choosing warm and waterproof clothing is also necessary, along with appropriate gloves and socks, and don't forget sunscreen and lip balm, especially on sunny days ☀️.

The choice of ski equipment depends on several factors, such as height, weight, skill level, terrain type, and personal preferences. There are different types of skis, including alpine skis, cross-country skis, touring skis, or snowboards, each offering various sensations and performance levels.

👱‍♂️ Consult a professional or rental shop to find the equipment that best suits your needs and budget. Remember to try out the equipment before purchasing or renting it to ensure it's comfortable!

Respecting the Mountain Code

Respecting the Mountain Code

⛷️On the slopes, it's essential to adhere to the mountain code: a set of rules of conduct and caution aimed at preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of all mountain users. Among these rules:

  • Adjust your speed and trajectory to the conditions of the slope and other skiers.
  • Respect signage and markings.
  • Avoid stopping in narrow or visibility-limited areas.
  • Provide assistance in case of accidents.

👉 These ten simple rules are displayed in ski resorts and should be known and followed by all skiers. These rules cover speed control, overtaking, crossing, choosing slopes, intersections, stopping, uphill and downhill walking, respecting signage, obligation to provide assistance, and identification.

Preparing Physically and Mentally

Preparing Physically and Mentally

Skiing requires good physical and mental condition 💪 Therefore, it's essential to prepare before going on vacation by doing endurance, strength, and flexibility exercises🏋️‍♀️ On the slopes, have fun, but don't overestimate yourself: don't let others influence you and listen to your body and sensations. Stopping skiing when you feel tired or stressed is not a problem!

🏃‍♀️Skiing engages many muscles, joints, and systems of the body, such as the heart, lungs, back, legs, and balance. Physical preparation before going on vacation is recommended, by doing exercises adapted to your level and goal.
