Instructions
Step 1
Take care of your clothes. The standard set necessarily includes thermal underwear, a fleece jacket, a ski suit - jacket and trousers, a knitted hat. In order for the boots not to chafe the feet, it is necessary to wear high socks or knee-highs under them. Glasses and gloves, if necessary, can be rented. If there is no special ski outfit, you can replace it with just sportswear, and better with windproof ones.
Step 2
A beginner should definitely not purchase ski equipment. Today, there are rental points in all ski areas. Their staff will expertly help you choose boots, skis and poles according to your riding experience, foot size, weight and height. In addition, having the opportunity to choose, at the rental you can choose the manufacturer of ski boots that are most convenient for you. After skiing for two to three months, and making sure that alpine skiing is your sport, by the spring, when sales begin, you can purchase your own equipment, taking into account the acquired experience and preferences.
Step 3
The most important tip - don't skimp on a certified instructor. A beginner skier does not need the advice of friends, even if they are very sincerely willing to share their skills with you, but the advice of a professional. The instructor is familiar with the teaching methods and will initially teach you the correct technique, which will not only allow you to ride beautifully and safely, but also less get tired at the same time. It takes at least a week to master alpine skiing from downhill plowing to parallel skiing and turns. A good instructor and your desire will very soon allow you to feel the feeling of fullness of life and adrenaline that skiing gives a person. This is love for life!
