Tips for Skiing

We finally it is winter and we can dedicate ourselves to a sport that we could hardly do at other times. Skiing White Mountains, snow shelters, often we need to focus on a weekend or even a single day our performance on the slopes and we have no time to lose and even money.

How can we best prepare?

We try to follow some tips to get the most out of our day 'white' or the weekend 'white' in anticipation of the upcoming holidays. Some may seem trivial, but never take things for granted.

Physical preparation.

If you spend your time on the couch, do not plan to be prepared for skiing. Moderate physical activity and following a proper exercise is what we want.


The goal and the time

First of all, perhaps it is a platitude, but choose the destination first, if ever going to decide in the morning, it is always risky. Find out if there is snow (since this year is not exactly like last year), the expected time and maybe ask if you can test this just before we left, now with webcams positioned directly on the ski slopes, You can see it in real time. If you limit the outing to a day is essential.


Food

If you love skiing and want to use anything as long salami sandwich, but would rather the Protein bars (They are also more comfortable to carry) and to drink water prefer the 'mash' with the addition of mineral salts that are a complement to the assumption correct that the body serves. But if you can not wait to taste the specialties of the area, but then you can safely do avoid back tracks, Is counterproductive. Just maybe go to eat 'later' to exploit the early morning hours of light, so then you can also decide to return.


Clothing

I know it might be trendy also love the snow, but this assessment, especially if you go and come back in the day. The full tracksuit resolved because it has only one end, but then if you thought of you girls, when you go to the bathroom? If you are not in a place stracomodo, with a nice big bathroom, clean and warm, perhaps having only the pants 'management' is not better? Bring always a jersey escort and a pair of Spare stockings, You never know.


Equipment

Consider whether it is more convenient rent skis because if yours are old because they do not skied for a long time, if you just started and not have them already bought, unless you have a car 'equipped', it is often convenient, of course, if the cost is reasonable. They are the most important boots that are 'personal' that do not ski, so pay attention to those that need to be 'right' or larger (if it is not used thick socks), close it.


Other regimens

Always a sun-protection cream, To be placed in exposed areas. At high altitude is even more dangerous and even if there are clouds. And for the eyes, always wear glasses. If you want to sunbathe when you can do to control exposure times. Never make off-piste, Ever, is prohibited, it could hurt you and to others, even if you are talented.

There should be everything, just one last trivial thing, especially if you are a beginner, accompagnatevi someone more experienced, are always good advice and also the company.
