Skiing is a very enjoyable and exciting sport. When you gallop on the vast snowfield in bright ski clothes, it is like a flower in a snow-white petal, which is pleasing to the eye. But do you know how to choose ski clothes? Now let me tell you: Ski clothes are specially designed for skiing, and they are different from ordinary sportswear in choice.
First, in addition to professional competition clothes, you should not choose clothes that are too small or too tight, which will limit your sliding action when you slide. The coat should be loose, the sleeve length should be slightly longer than the wrist after the arm is straightened up, and the cuffs should be gathered, which has the function of elastic adjustment. The neckline should be an upright high-necked opening to prevent cold air from entering. The length of trousers should be based on the length from the corner of trousers to the ankle after squatting. The lower opening of the trouser leg has a double-layer structure, and the inner layer has an elastic necking with non-slip rubber, which can be tightly stretched on the ski boots to effectively prevent snow from entering; The inner side of the outer layer has a wear-resistant hard lining to prevent the outer layer from being damaged when the ski whips collide with each other.
Secondly, there are two forms of ski suits: one-piece ski suits and one-piece ski suits. Ski clothes are easy to wear, but when choosing, pants must be high waist, and it is best to have straps and soft belts. The coat must be loose, the waist should be tucked in the middle, and there should be a belt or drawstring to prevent the snow from entering the ski suit from the waist after skiing. After the arm is straight, the sleeves should not be too tight, but longer, because the upper limbs are in all-round motion when skiing, especially for beginners. One-piece ski suit is simple in structure, comfortable to wear, and better in snow prevention than one-piece ski suit, but it is more troublesome to wear. According to the author's experience, it is more convenient to wear one-piece ski suit than to slide in one-piece ski suit.
Thirdly, the outer material of ski suit should be wear-resistant, tear-proof and windproof, and nylon or tear-proof cloth with waterproof surface is better. Because most ski resorts in China are located inland, the climate is cold and dry, the temperature is low, the wind is strong and the snow is hard. In view of the fact that most of the sports ropeways in ski resorts in China are not closed and the temperature is low, the inner layer of ski clothes should be made of hollow cotton or Dupont cotton with good thermal insulation, so as to provide good thermal insulation conditions for skiers to ride on the ropeway. According to my experience, one-piece ski suit is better than two-piece ski suit.
Fourth, from the color point of view, it is best to choose red, orange, sky blue or eye-catching tones that can form a great contrast with white. First, it adds charm to the sport, and more importantly, it provides an eye-catching sign for other skiers to avoid collision accidents.
Fifth, the opening of the ski suit should be mainly made of large zippers, and the zipper head should be large to facilitate the operation when wearing gloves. The outer side of the zipper should have a wind wall structure to prevent cold air from entering the body through the gap of the zipper when sliding. There should be several large pockets that are easy to open, so that some commonly used ski supplies can be put in different categories for easy use.
Sixth, because it is often necessary to arrange ski equipment by hand and slide with a pole, ski gloves should be wide, with five fingers apart, and gloves should be long and wrists should be covered, preferably. If there is an elastic band to seal them, it can effectively prevent snow from entering. Ski cap had better choose the one with a hat, which only shows half of his face, so as to prevent the cold wind from blowing on his face and floating around, which is particularly important for ladies.
ski
For the choice of snowboards, beginners can choose 160 cm long snowboards, and women can choose 150 cm long snowboards. The ski pole is slightly higher than the elbow, and the shorter pole will be changed after the technical improvement.
Ski boots
The choice of ski shoes is very important, both comfortable and fit. Toes can move freely in the shoes, but the soles of feet, instep, arch and heel should be tightly wrapped.
Ski goggles
The choice of ski goggles should be fully enclosed, and the appearance is similar to that of diving goggles, but the nose is not buckled; The outer frame is made of soft plastic, which can be close to the face to prevent air from entering; The mirror surface is made of colorful exotic materials coated with anti-fog and anti-ultraviolet coatings; The upper eaves of the outer frame are provided with air holes. Skiers who wear glasses should choose a thicker frame with goggles, which can cover all the glasses.
ski pants
If you learn to ski, you will often fall down and sit on the snow, so you'd better wear waterproof ski pants to keep warm and damp-proof. The length of trousers should make people squat down to their ankles. When skiing, the coat should be loose and comfortable, the sleeves should be longer than the wrists when the arms are straight, the cuffs should be narrowed and the tightness should be adjustable, and the neckline should be open with an upright high collar to prevent snow. Wear warm gloves and wool hat.
It is best not to use cotton products with strong water absorption for underwear, but to wear nylon vests with mesh and elastic cotton vests. If the economic conditions are good, you can also buy underwear made of silk fibers. If you wear cotton underwear, you need to change it in time to avoid being wet and cold after sweating.
Skiing techniques are divided into primary, intermediate and advanced. Beginners learn to walk and basic posture first, and then learn simple downhill, change direction and so on. Intermediate can be used for inclined downhill, horizontal downhill and uneven downhill; The advanced technology is mainly rotating technology, such as automatic turning, water skiing and jumping.
After wearing ski equipment, novices should not rush into it. First of all, it takes some time to learn to walk, climb and master balance. Then learn in the order of straight downhill-plow downhill-semi-plow downhill-plow turn-semi-plow turn-plow turn and semi-plow swing turn. Skiing is just an introduction until you master these skills.
Straight downhill is to keep two skis in balance, slide down the slope in a straight line, and the sliding body is in an accelerated state. Keep your body center of gravity during practice and don't fall down.
Downhill plowing is to push out the rear parts of two skis in the shape of a figure of eight, grab the snow surface with the inner edges of the two skis, and slide straight down. The size of the octagon of the snowboard determines the size of the resistance and the speed and speed of sliding. This kind of exercise is mainly to control the acceleration movement in downhill to uniform or deceleration movement, and this technology can be used to slow down and stop.
Semi-plow downhill is to keep one snowboard in a straight downhill posture and the other snowboard in a plow downhill posture. When skiing, the feet constantly change posture, but the body center of gravity should always be placed on the feet, showing a straight downhill posture. This kind of exercise is mainly to lay the foundation for learning turning techniques.
Plough turn is to take the posture under the plow first, turn right, and focus on the left foot; Turn left and put your weight on your right foot. When turning, the snowboard that bears the weight is the driving board and the driven board. This exercise is to use the inner edge of skis to turn, and two skis alternately become driving plates, that is, plow continuous turning.
Semi-plough turning is to use semi-plough skis as driving plates when going downhill, which can realize turning. Ploughing and semi-plowing are more difficult to turn. That is to say, in the second half of these two turns, the driven disk moves to a position parallel to the driving disk.
Ski gloves
Ski gloves are generally selected according to the characteristics of the project. Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snow ballet, aerial skills and platform skiing are essential. This requires ski gloves not only to keep warm and cold, but also to be wear-resistant, soft and practical. They are usually made of natural leather and synthetic materials.
Ski wax
There are two main types of ski wax. One is ski wax, which is mainly used in competitive skiing to improve skiing speed and prevent snow from sticking to the board in high temperature climate. The other is anti-skid wax, which is mainly used in the traditional technology of cross-country skiing to prevent skis from slipping and improve sports performance. With the development of high technology, the research of ski wax is more and more advanced, and different snow wax can be determined according to different air temperature, snow temperature and snow quality. According to the specific situation and conditions, waxing can play a general role in tourism skiing, which can not only improve the skiing speed, but also protect the snowboard.
Snowmaker (artificial)
Snowmaker is a necessary equipment for skiing in resorts at present. Snow resorts in Europe, America, Japan and other countries have this advanced equipment to supplement the shortage of snow sources. In recent years, the number of skiers has increased year by year, especially tourist skiing is very popular in Northeast China, North China, Xinjiang, Sichuan and other places, and Beijingers' skiing has become a hot topic. In winter, they try to ski with artificial snow in the surrounding resorts and ski resorts. Shi Jinglong Ski Resort in Yanqing is the largest snowfield in Fu Na. The advanced snow making machine can compete with natural snow in function and quality. Skiing is really exciting and cool!
Snow press
Snow press is the most advanced mechanized equipment for leveling snow fields and trails at present. It loosens, smoothes and compacts the snow produced by natural snowfall and snow making machine, so that skiers can enjoy, cross and slide on the smooth white snow field to show their skiing style.
ropeway
Cableway is a mechanical device for transporting people in ski resorts and tourist attractions. It consists of motor, steel frame, steel wire rope, chain rail, wheels and various hanging chairs. It is driven by electricity and machinery to achieve the purpose of transporting people.
