How can I slide farther when skiing?

The greatest resistance to skiing comes from air and snow. You can wax the skis to make the skis smoother and minimize the friction between the skis and the snow. Then think of ways to overcome air resistance. You'd better choose a tight, smooth surface, and let the air slip smoothly away from your side when you slide so as to reduce the "contradiction" between you. At the same time you can change your posture and bend your knees. Bowing your knees can make you feel lighter because the body's windward area is reduced and you don't need to fight against so many resistance-producing air molecules. The resistance is reduced, and of course the speed is fast. Your gliding will certainly be faster and farther!

1, correctly wear and familiar with the ski

With the help of ski instructors or staff, choose your own ski boots (their own size), skis, and ski poles (see ski equipment page) and warm up at the junior driving range of the ski resort.

Many beginners who wear ski boots will feel that their feet are tight on the hoop. They prefer to have their feet loose inside. What kind of ski boots are appropriate? The right choice is: The proper boots should be to keep your cheekbones, heels, and feet tightly pressed without pressure. The ankles should be able to bend. The toes can move on the ground. In short, the boots and the feet must be integrated. During the process, the skier controls the speed mainly through the snowboard. Without proper boots, the skier cannot effectively perform various actions.

Standing pose on snow

Remember not to let your feet sway in your boots for comfort, as it may sprain your feet. Wear boots to walk in the snow when the pace is moderate, with the first land after the heel.

Before wearing the skis, place the two skis on the ground (beginners do not wear shoes on slopes) and wear the plates with the support of both hands: firstly insert the forefoot into the ski holder, and when the skis are on, only The rear holder needs to be lifted, the front end of the ski boot is inserted into the groove of the front holder, and the heel of the ski boot is pressed downwards, and a “click” is heard. The holder has the front end and rear end of the ski boot. Tightly stuck on the skis.

The correct grip of the pole is to wear the hand through the pole first and then hold it in the hand so that the pole will not be thrown out unconsciously in the event of a fall.

After wearing the board, both hands hold the stick on the snow on both sides of the body to help balance, while the two feet step forward and backward to adapt to the ski.

2. Walking on flat ground, maintaining balance on flat ground and slopes, lateral slopes, and slopes

Flatland walking techniques include walking in front and back, running, and walking around.

When walking in front of and behind the flat ground, keep the double boards parallel. The heads and tails of the two skis must not cross each other, and the stride should be small.

Walking horizontally is the basis for climbing uphill. The essentials are small steps, keeping the two boards parallel.

When rotating in circles 360 degrees in situ, the angle of each step should not be large. Take the left turn circle as an example. For each step on the left plate, the step on the right plate should be kept parallel with the left plate, and the plate head and the plate tail cannot be crossed*. Will lose balance and wrestle.

It is easier to maintain balance on the ground. Few slides can be natural. Do not be struggling to lose balance.

To maintain balance on a slope, you must first understand the concept of a "roll-off line". A "roll-off line" is a line where a ball rolls off a slope. To maintain balance on a slope, you must make your skis and roll off. Keep the line vertical, and let the inner edge of the snowboard and the outer blade of the snowboard in the mountain be embedded in the mountain and form an angle. The center of the body should be placed on the lower plate to resist the natural decline in body weight.

After the balance is maintained on the slope, lateral slopes can be attempted, ie supported by the inner edge of the snowboard under the mountain and the outer edge of the snowboard on the mountain. The alternating exchange center of gravity alternates to the side of the hill. Both hands hold the pole naturally in the body. Sideways to help maintain balance, remember the essentials: the upper body should stand upright, the knees slightly bend against the front of the boots to support the weight of the body, the two plates should be parallel and perpendicular to the fall line (to watch the direction of the rolling line - always) The fall line depends on your head to imagine, not to be drawn on the snow track), the posture of the body - imagine yourself as a ball embedded on a slope - both knees and hips lean towards the hill, waist and shoulders The department leans down the hill and its body is anti-arc.

The three-character slope is a more efficient method than the horizontal slope. The main point is that the body is facing the rolling-off line. The two-plate head is wider and the tail is narrower than the shape of the figure. The knees are rotated inside to make the two-plate. The inner edge of the blade rises to form an angle with the snow surface. Both hands support the stick head behind the pole (like the posture of the old man's walking stick). The double boards alternately turn upwards. The poles naturally support themselves in turns.

3, straight downhill technology

After selecting a gentle slope, use a pole support to adjust the plate smoothly. The double plates are parallel to the width of the shoulder and are directly below the ski slope (directly facing the fall line). Slowly retracting the pole, the weight of the body will Slowly slide you down until it slows down naturally on the ground. Essentials: upper body upright, his head raised in front of the eye, do not look at his snowboard, pay attention to observe the situation, shoulders relaxed, arms stretched forward, hold the pole with both hands, the height of the hand around the hip, snow stick head Hanging behind him, his knees bowed slightly, feeling the cheekbone slightly pressing against the front shell of the ski boot. The snowboard lay flat on the slope and the body slid along with the snowboard.

The common mistake in straight-down is because of panic: heights of fearless decline and faster and faster speeds. If so, simply sit down on either side of the body or make a plow brake to slow down. The source of tension is fear, so remember to relax, relax your arms, and focus your body forward instead of lagging behind so you can control your snowboard.

Waist, hip, and recoil are all wrong postures.
