With the approaching of the Winter Olympics, the popularity of ice and snow sports is also rising. More and more people begin to pay attention to ice and snow sports, and even itch to play by themselves. Unfortunately, unlike other sports, ice and snow sports have their own limitations.

However, with the development of technology and the appearance of artificial snow fields, skiing has gradually become the "leader" and "new favorite" in ice and snow sports. More and more people begin to wear professional ski clothing and experience the pleasure of galloping on the ice and snow. But seeing is one thing, playing is another. Seemingly simple skiing, when you are really standing on the ski resort, only those who have experienced it know the feeling. For beginners, it is very difficult to experience happiness in this sport.

So how can I become a veteran of skiing from a beginner? Today we'll answer for you.

Choosing the right equipment is the first step to success

As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. It's the same with skiing. If you want to master the skills of this sport, you have to have a suitable set of equipment. Skiing equipment seems simple, but there are many. Skiing glasses are indispensable. When choosing, try to choose some moderate color and strong ones. On the one hand, they can help you block the sunshine and strong wind, and at the same time, they can protect your eyes from other things. In addition to glasses, ski suits, ski shoes, skis, ski gloves, ski sticks, ski gloves and ski helmets are indispensable.

Skiing posture is very important

Many beginners think that skiing is to put on the equipment, and skiing on the snow is over? This is not the case. Because once your posture is not correct, it will be very easy to cause injury.

The standard posture announced by relevant authoritative media is: knees slightly bent, eyes naturally straight ahead (or far away) at ordinary times, rather than staring at the tip of your snowboard, keeping the center of gravity forward, legs pressing forward, hands holding the stick forward, elbows slightly bent.

Straight down skiing is the first choice for beginners

For a beginner, whether it is the adaptability of equipment or skills, are weak, so in the beginning of skiing, the best choice is straight down skiing method, that is straight line skiing.

The specific operation is: facing the direction of the skis, the skis must be parallel up, down, left and right, and the distance between the two skis should be the same width as the shoulders and knees. Lean your upper body and knees forward slightly, hold your hands on the ski stick, and naturally place them in the front of your thighs. The tip of the ski stick is placed behind you, 30-40 cm below the ground, with a slight figure of eight in front and back. When you start to slide, use your arms to support the tip of the ski stick on the ground behind the boards on both sides and start to slide. When skiing, two awesome skiing must be averaging, looking forward, relax and not tense. Finally, as you become more proficient, you can try more ways and actions.

And for skiing, we often encounter the operation of how to stop smoothly when sliding fast. We can start with the most basic and commonly used lateral stay or plough stay method. As for the more complicated stopping methods, we can practice and try them by ourselves after we have mastered them, or we can quickly master them with the guidance and help of the old drivers.
