Around the world, the color classification of ski slopes in terms of difficulty is accepted. These are green, blue, red and black tracks: the former are for beginners, the latter are for experienced extreme lovers. In addition, in some countries of the world there are additional markings and classifications.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest ski slopes are green. They are ideal for those who have never skied before or who feel very insecure about the sport. These are very gentle, even and rather wide elephants, the angle of their inclination cannot exceed 25 degrees, and more often it is even less. This allows beginner skiers to move at low speed and work on skiing technique without fear of falling and getting hurt. You can pick up speed on such a track only on your own, pushing off and running away - a gentle descent does not allow you to accelerate. Due to the fact that skiers have to take a run to go fast, green trails are often called cross-country trails.
Step 2
Blue slopes are also gentle, their average angle is 25 degrees, in some ski resorts there are less, in some more. The slopes are safe for skiing, there are no bumps, sharp turns, ledges or other obstacles. The corner of the blue slopes is ideal for recreational skiers who want to experience the beauty of fast skiing while protecting themselves from falls and injury. Blue slopes are good because they allow people with different levels of training to ride: it will be difficult for beginners on them, but after a few lessons they can conquer these slopes with pleasure, and more experienced tourists will be able to develop high speeds. There are most of the blue slopes in the world, they are considered the most popular.
Step 3
Red slopes are dangerous for an unprepared person, they are equipped with sharp turns and obstacles, they have sections of very high-speed descents, and on average their angle is about 30-35 degrees. The maximum possible angle of the red track is 40 degrees. In no case should beginners ride such elephants, even experienced skiers are not always ready to conquer these slopes. Although the red slopes differ in different resorts: in some places they are slightly more difficult than blue ones, in others they are almost as good as the most extreme slopes.
Step 4
Black slopes are the most dangerous and difficult, only professional skiers, masters of this sport, can ride on them. These are the most extreme descents that allow you to develop tremendous speeds. Some slopes are called black due to the increased risk of avalanches, although the track itself can be simple.
Step 5
In some resorts there are orange and yellow slopes, they refer to the slopes of increased difficulty and correspond to the black ones.
