Worldwide color classification of ski slopes by complexity is received. These are green, blue, red and black tracks: the first – for beginners, the last – for skilled thrill-seekers. Besides, in some countries of the world there are still additional markings and classifications.
Instruction
1. The easiest ski slopes – green. They are ideal for those who else never skied or feel very uncertainly in this sport. These are very flat, equal and quite wide elephants, the angle of their bending can't exceed 25 degrees, and it is more often even less. It allows the beginning skiers to move with the small speed and to work on technology of driving, without being afraid to fall and rasshibitsya. It is possible to gain speed on such track only independently, making a start and running up – flat descent doesn't allow to accelerate. Because skiers should run up specially quickly to go, green tracks are often called running.
2. Blue tracks too flat, their corner averages 25 degrees, in some ski resorts it is less, in some it is more. Slopes are safe for driving, on them there are no hillocks, sharp turns, ledges and other obstacles. The corner of blue tracks is ideal for amateur skiers who want to feel all charm of fast skiing, but at the same time to secure itself against falling and injuries. Blue descents are good the fact that they allow to ride to people with different level of training: to beginners on them it will be difficult, but through several lessons they can already conquer these tracks with pleasure, and more skilled tourists will be able to gather high speeds. Blue tracks most of all in the world, they are considered as the most popular.
3. Red tracks are dangerous to the unprepared person, they are equipped with abrupt turns and obstacles, on them there are sites of very downhill racings, and their corner averages about 30-35 degrees. The greatest possible corner of the red track – 40 degrees. Beginners can't ride such elephants at all, even experienced mountain skiers aren't always ready to submit these descents. Though in different resorts red tracks differ: in some places they it is slightly more difficult blue, almost don't concede in others to the most extreme descents.
4. Black tracks the most dangerous and difficult, can ride only professional mountain skiers, masters in this sport them. These are the most extreme descents which allow to gather huge speeds. Some slopes are called black because of the increased risk of the avalanche though the track can be simple.
5. In some resorts there are orange and yellow tracks, they treat slopes of the increased complexity and correspond to black.
