Skis happen several types, depending on needs of skiers. So, mountain models are intended first of all for extreme driving on hillsides. The beginners wishing to drive on alpine skis are recommended to choose models for driving at the small or average speed.
Instruction
1. Besides, it is necessary to pay attention to softness of skis. The more the softness, the is simpler driving. And technical errors in the course of driving on soft skis are corrected quickly.
2. Surely consider the sizes of skis. To pick up correct, it is necessary to know "dimensions" – the weight and growth. If your weight around the average (growth minus 100 cm), take skis 5 cm shorter you. If you the beginner or weigh below the average, it is possible to choose models shorter.
3. Don't rely especially on the formulation "the more weight, the skis are longer". Here it is necessary to consider still longitudinal rigidity of skis and also torsion (the measure of resistance which skis I show to the twisting loadings). They have to increase in direct ratio to the skier's weight.
4. Now as for the choice directly models of skis. Here it is simpler and simpler. Driving on small slopes and big mountains significantly differs. Skis for steep slopes have to be more powerful and stable at big speeds. In this case it is better to buy universal model.
5. Than the skill of the skier is higher, especially the wide range of models and sizes is available to it: from skis which are shorter than growth of the owner by 30-50 cm, for passing of turns with limit bending – the fankarving; to longer copies for driving on rather sloping slopes (it is 10-20 cm more than growth of the skier).
6. Choosing alpine boots, consider such parameters as the size, comfort and rigidity. The size is defined by means of special devices – measuring instruments which are present at many specialized shops.
7. Boots of the increased rigidity should be chosen if you plan to use them within several seasons for the purpose of active increase in the skills. At the bigger speed the control level which is defined including, rigidity of the boot increases.
