Ski tips slide steep snow slopes use

The use of ski poles is also tricky when ski slopes are steep! It may not matter if you use skis without skis on gentle slopes, but the rational use of ski poles on steep slopes is very important. Especially when the slope is more than 40 degrees, skiing without a pole can be difficult. So at this time, the skill of using the poles is needed.

Although the leg is used for walking, the swing of the arm helps to balance the walking. If the arm is not moving or the swing is unreasonable, it may be okay to walk slowly, but it will not work when you run. The same goes for skiing. Although snowboards are used at the feet, the use of ski poles helps to balance the skis.

Many people feel the difficulty of turning on a steep slope. First, the speed is too fast to be afraid when turning, and the more you are afraid, the more you will fall. Second, it was difficult to turn a bend and get a corner. In fact, the function and beauty of the stick are for these two points. My personal experience is the essence of the stick. There are two main points:

(1) Traction body vertical snow surface

When you turn right from left to right, if your body is not perpendicular to the snow surface, your posture must be recoiled when the board is turned to the downhill position. The steeper the slope of the snow slope is, the more it is not strange to fall. However, people instincts on the steep slopes did not dare to take the initiative to incline down the hill. At this time, it was precisely the traction of the upper body to tilt down the hill to prevent the center of gravity from receding.

(2) Prevent body from twisting with turns

When sticking a stick in the right arm, the left hand must follow. Otherwise, right-handed left-handedness will cause the body to twist around its left and will not turn right. Left-handed follow-up will prevent this reversal so that the body is facing the mountain. After such a stick, you can enter the right turn very freely. In order to prevent forgetting to follow suit, consciously performing a double-stick exercise can help correct the situation.
