Snowboards are the carrier of travel for ski enthusiasts. Skis are mainly composed of multi-layer structures, including elastic plates, torsion-resistant box structures, cores, fiberglass composites, polymer base plates, metal edges, etc.

The length of the snowboard should be no more than the height of the wrist when the person raises his arms, and the shortest length should not be shorter than the hip. Long skis glide fast and have good stability; short skis are slow, prone to vibration and have poor stability. It is best for beginners to choose one that is based on their own height plus about 5 centimeters in length. The elasticity of the elastic boards of skis varies. Beginners should choose skis that are shorter and more elastic, because this type of board is less likely to bump when encountering uneven snow, has better braking effect, and is easier to maneuver. Learn turning maneuvers. Skiers with good skills can choose skis that are longer, less elastic, and slightly heavier. This can increase the stability during sliding and help skiers fully control the skis and slide out beautiful arcs.

The material of the ski base is mainly made of plastic or polymer nylon material. The friction coefficient of the polymer base is small, which is better than the plastic base. The edge of the ski should be kept sharp at all times, so that when you are facing It does not produce sideslip when gravity is applied, and it is said that the edges of the skis used by professional skiers can be shaved.

Snowboards can be roughly divided into the following models:

Freestyle: suitable for hard snow venues and short ski trails, such as general ski venues and U-shaped blue tube slides , light weight, blunt nose, short body, very skateboard style.

Freeride: It is a multi-functional snowboard. Each type of snowboard has its own characteristics. It is suitable for both soft and hard snow. It is suitable for use in ski resorts or other non-ski slopes. It is often seen in videos. Skiers use this kind of snowboard to jump from cliffs and snow slopes.

Freecarve: Also called "Alpine", it is a fast ski that requires long ski trails to slide down quickly, and can take both soft and hard snow.

Race: racing skis, specially designed for field racing, suitable for hard snow. The long skis have a large surface area and are less likely to sink in.

Terrain type, snow conditions, gameplay, and weight all determine the snowboard you want. Of course, the pattern that represents your personal style is also important. Long snowboards are suitable for soft and thick snow areas and have good stability when downhill at high speeds, but require a larger turning radius. Short snowboards are more responsive and suitable for hard snow areas. They are easy to jump and rotate with a small turning radius. (If you go skiing abroad, it is more suitable to choose "Freestyle" and "Freeride" skis because the foreign ski resort environment has many hard snow trails.

Price:

The prices of skis vary. Generally, skis are divided into wood, fiberglass and metal. They are inherently light and cheap, but are easily deformed by moisture. Therefore, it is advisable to apply special grease before use to prevent snow from sticking to them and to prevent snow water from soaking in. Fiberglass skis are suitable for any type of snow. Snow, but the price is higher. Aluminum alloy metal skis are easy to turn on light and dry deep snow and ice, and the price is also higher. Currently, there are skis made of a mixture of these three materials, which are most popular among ski enthusiasts. . The price ranges from 1,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan.

Friendly reminder: Beginner skis are wider, have poor elasticity, and have no obvious waist. It is recommended not to buy them, because they will be replaced when your level improves. When renting, be sure to indicate that you are a beginner and loosen the tightness so that the skis can easily come off the boots when you fall, thus reducing the chance of injury. Advanced skis are designed according to different snow conditions. It is recommended to consult a professional store. Then buy according to the snow conditions of the ski resorts where you often go.
