Recommendations for beginners on the ski slope

1. Helmet и ski Mask necessary on the slope, as this is the main protection of your face and head from hard piste snow and ice, as well as from collisions with other skiers.

2. We do not recommend using regular sunglasses, they can only aggravate the fall!

Sunny radiation в mountains lot more active, and is even stronger when reflected from the snow, so even in cloudy weather it is necessary солнцезащитный крем face and hygienic lipstick, ski mask (sunglasses).

Where to start buying your equipment: basic things that make your riding more comfortable

*Base Layer, or thermal underwear - must ensure that moisture is removed from the skin, the fabric is synthetic, or wool, if you are cold, or a mixture of both. There should not be any cotton in the composition. Let us repeat, the primary function is moisture wicking and quick drying, so that you do not feel cold from wet fabric.

*Skating socks"Snowboard socks" or "Ski socks" are the same thing - such a sock fits well, wicks away moisture, is almost knee-length, so that even the top of the boot does not rub anywhere. If you are cold, take with a wool content of 20-40%. Naturally, there should be no cotton either.

*Balaclava or balaclava, or one or two buffs (buff) it is better to have both thin versions and warm ones for different weather conditions.

*Ski mask or goggles - one of the most individual accessories that comes into contact with the face.

*Gloves or mittens, it is better to have thinner and warmer ones.

*Jacket and trousers for skiing with an upper fabric such as “Membrane” or “Hard Shell” does not get wet under the snow, but allows evaporation from the body to pass out.

*Sweatshirt/Fleece — the insulating layer must be synthetic, such as polyester, Polartec(r) read the composition, there should be no cotton.

Do not forget that 90% of your everyday sweatshirts/hoodies are made of cotton, they quickly get wet from the body and from falling snow, do not dry out for a long time, you will be cold in cotton fabric.

*Helmet

*Protective shorts with tailbone protection and knee pads - protection for a snowboarder, to make it more pleasant to fall, you can also sit on the snow or rest standing on your knees.

To summarize:

  • Ride on defense!
  • Don’t be afraid to ride without the perfect clothes; your first riding experience will tell you what is important for you and what is not.

If you don’t know something, you can always ask your guide/instructor, he will tell you everything, you can do this in the chat of your tour or in person, and at the same time we will add to this guide.
