Tips for skiers on the slopes
Skiing and snowboarding are both fun and demanding winter sports. In order to ski safely, enjoyably and efficiently, some basic rules must be observed on the slopes. With the suggestions of the legendary Veysel Hoca, you can move more controlled and consciously on the slopes.
1. Warm Up Before Sliding
It is very important to warm up for at least 20 minutes before you start skiing and snowboarding. Preparing your muscles and joints not only prevents injuries but also acclimatizes your body to the cold weather. You can start with circular movements around the neck, shoulders, waist, knees and ankles.
2. Learn the Runway Map and Area Information
Be sure to check the piste map of your ski resort before skiing. Knowing the difficulty levels (blue, red, black) and directions of the pistes is essential for a safe ride. With this information, you can both ski on the piste suitable for your level and find your way easily.
3. Adjust your sliding technique according to the slope grade
Pay attention to the degree of slope when skiing on pistes. As the slope increases, speed and balance control become more important. Practice deceleration and stopping techniques while maintaining your stance. Practice right and left turns; this will strengthen your reflexes while skating.
4. Start with Flat Areas for Beginners
Beginners who are new to skiing or snowboarding should stay away from steep slopes. It is much safer to learn basic balance, posture and change of direction movements on gently sloping or flat areas in the first place. In this way, you can ski on slopes without difficulty in the later stages.
5. Practice Technical Sliding
Improve your sliding techniques on blue, red and black tracks with different difficulty levels. Strengthen your technique by practicing straight slides, short turns, parallel slides and braking exercises. These exercises at every level will improve your reflexes and help you skate with more confidence.
6. Learn to Use Body Joints Correctly
Getting your body position right is very important when learning to ski and snowboard. Keep your knees slightly bent and your body weight in the center. Leave your arms open for balance and turn your head in your direction. This posture helps you maintain balance and control on the piste.
7. Don’t go on the slopes without a helmet
The first requirement to ensure your safety on the ski slopes is to wear a helmet. A helmet protects you from serious injury in the event of a fall or impact. Make sure your helmet fits snugly and is comfortable. Safety should always come before performance.
