Snow. Winter weather has set, and ski resorts are actively beckoning to their slopes. After the summer break, many subtleties and skills have been forgotten, so it is worth brushing up on your knowledge and familiarizing yourself with some recommendations. It will be useful for both an experienced person and those who are just learning to ride a snowboard.
Remember everything
No need to go straight to difficult slopes. Even the most experienced athlete, who does not need snowboarding training, needs to remember all the skills and movements first, and a training slope is also well suited for this.
Do not take too much
The backpack behind the back hinders movement during the descent on a snowboard. It is better to leave spare warm clothes, thermos and other things in the storage room. They are often equipped next to the slope. If necessary, it will be closer to go there than to the car.
Good company
Happy friends on the slope get in the way only for a completely newbie who is still undergoing snowboarding training. For those who skate well, the company will cheer up and allow them to spend time on the mountain with pleasure. Riding alone is boring.
Check your gear
Regardless of whether the board is rented or lay in the winter in its own closet, all equipment needs to be checked: tighten the bolts on the fasteners, set a suitable angle of the stand, wax the board if it has scratches. It is also very useful to sharpen the edging before the season starts. You just need to be careful and careful: with the new paraffin wax and sharp edging, the speed of the snowboard increases significantly. Do not accelerate too much until the muscles remember the correct movements.
Plan your trips wisely
Serious injuries often occur during periods of extreme fatigue. To prevent this, it is advisable to distribute forces wisely. Difficult slopes are best visited in the second third of the trip. The body is already flexed, but fatigue has not yet accumulated. It is not advisable to ride the most difficult slopes at the end of the day. It is better to end it with something simple so as not to spoil the impression.
Alcohol only in the bar
It is strictly forbidden to snowboard while drunk. This is reckless for yourself and for those around you. A drunken athlete is poorly oriented and controls his body, especially those who are just learning to ride a snowboard can suffer from it. After all, a beginner simply will not have time to dodge an inadequate person rushing at him with great speed.
Don't forget about protection
Snowboarding is very traumatic, falls and collisions are frequent. A helmet is an obligatory part of equipment on the slope, saving the most valuable part of the body from serious damage - the head.
