Choose your skis: a guidebook in three steps
wakes one of the most special moments for us lovers of winter sports, a correct choice can give us a few years of pure pleasure as an inconvenient winter weeks brings us no more as a fun Once the snow, here's the first part of a short but comprehensive guide to avoid mistakes more!
Very often many skiers have a very limited range of choice: the budget, the board of the merchant and the three or four brands held by the selected store. In addition to
we often rely on recommendations of experts in the field made little or not at all versed in the matter, because the department moved from other ski locations.
The following suggestions do not want to be the definitive answer on how to choose skiing, but a guide with which to appraise the advice of those who decided to sell the new skis.
The first step for a correct choice of tool must be an honest analysis of our skiing skills, must not be neither amplified nor written down, otherwise find a cross in his hands there, or settle in a ski many situations could be unmanageable.
A good help to find their own level is given by the video published by dell'AMSI site, the Italian association of ski instructors, showing what each level corresponds to skiing: agonist, gold, silver and bronze: the 'agonist expresses an almost perfect and very aggressive skiing, the skiing gold level corresponds to a clean and mastered every situation by making a correct technique, silver denotes a skiing trip with some technical error, but able to address most of the tracks; bronze browse the skier in evolution, after the first steps a beginner. After
"placed" in a certain category is equally important to investigate their preferences skiing: in spite of the houses they try always, skiing is unlikely to be multi-purpose product. Watch out then by the shop that I will propose a ski that can do everything, usually is also a ski that does nothing good.
We must therefore choose the most suitable slopes to ourselves and to our ski trip: we must then make up its mind about what kind of skiing we prefer, if you prefer sweeping curves or tight, fast or slow, ice or if you prefer snow after a snowfall and therefore lighter, and finally if you are interested in some digression backcountry.
The identification of the target skier is in fact the most important operation of the three proposals here, because it can also be great skiers but dislike some type of track or snow condition: the solution is twofold , find a ski that performs well in situations or, conversely, we prefer a ski that allows us not to suffer too certain conditions or curve radii.
The third step is to identify the correct length of the ski: usually modern carving skis should be selected a few inches less than the height of the user, we recommend front height or eye level.
At this point it is more than half the work: there will certainly be a ski that corresponds to our wishes.
The range of products offered by each house it covers every type of skier, from beginner to choosing the most powerful tool: the problem is in this case between the forest of acronyms to identify what type of skiing you suits.
