Skiing is a competitive sport in which athletes place their skis on the soles of their boots to perform speed, jumping and downhill movements on the snow. Snowboards are made from a mix of wood, metal and plastic.

Modern skiing can be roughly divided into three categories: Alpine skiing, Nordic skiing and freestyle skiing.

Among them, freestyle skiing is a snow sports event in which skis and ski poles are used as tools to complete a series of prescribed and optional actions in a special ski resort.

What should beginners pay attention to?

1. First, learn basic skiing skills, such as walking, falling, changing direction, sliding on flat ground, etc.

2. When choosing a ski venue, the slope should not be too steep, about 6 degrees is the best, and the ski slope should be wide, about 50 meters.

3. Prepare ski clothes, choose suitable ski boots, skis, ski poles, feel comfortable and move freely.

4. Keep your balance. As you slide down, bend your knees slightly, look straight into the distance instead of the tip of the ski, forward instead of back, and press your shins forward on the snowshoe.

5. Before going uphill, you should move your hips, knees, ankles, wrists and other joints.

6. Understand the general situation of the ski resort, especially the distribution location and warning signs of the ski resort facilities on the map, and abide by the ski resort safety management regulations.

7. When sliding in a straight line, facing the direction you are about to slide, the top, bottom, left and right sides of the skis must be kept parallel, and the distance between the two boards should be as wide as the shoulders and knees. When slowing down, bring your legs out slightly, always being careful not to go too fast.
