The skis
How to choose the right skis?
The most important factor in choosing skis is to consider the type of terrain you’ll be on. Will you be on a groomed mountain with packed snow, or off the trails? Different skis will perform better in different conditions.
Groomed Terrain: Track skis are great for groomed terrain and trails.
Groomed/Powder Mix: Go with the versatile, wider all-mountain skis.
Backcountry: Make your own tracks off the trail with freeride skis.
Racing: For downhill and slalom racing, look for narrow race skis.
Snowpark: Choose freestyle skis for doing tricks in the snowpark.
How to consider the design of the ski?
Rocker, also known as reverse-camber or early rise, has a flat bottom while the tip and tail of the ski bend up off the snow. More rocker means more maneuverability, easier carving, and more flotation, helping you stay on top of soft, deep snow. Beginning skiers will improve more quickly and have more fun with just a little rocker.
The camber is the opposite of the rocker; it is the upward flexing arc of the bottom of the ski. This makes for easier handling, turning, and stability for the skier. This is seen on traditional skis and is great for skiing on groomed or hard-packed snow.
The ski boots
Ski boots consist of a hard outer shell and a soft inner layer. Some boots have moldable inner layers for a more custom fit.
Boots range in flexibility and the flex index is correlated to your ability level. The higher the flex index number, the stiffer the boot, and the more advanced you should be as a skier. For beginners, a soft flex (85 for men, 75 for women) will be best. For intermediate skiers or beginners who expect to progress quickly, a medium flex (90 – 110 for men, 80 – 95 for women) will be great for those steeper terrains. More advanced and expert skiers will want a stiff flex boot (>115 for men, >100 for women). These stiff flex boots are designed for speed and steep terrain.
The rechargeable hand warmer
It is very important to keep the body and hands warm when skiing. Only when the body is warm can we exercise better. You can keep your body warm by wearing suitable warm and windproof clothes, and you can carry rechargeable hand warmers to keep your hands warm.
Only a rechargeable hand warmer with long battery life and lightweight can become a popular hand warmer on the ski slopes. Keep skiers warm even in cold winds. It’s a perfect gift for ski lovers this Christmas with an Ocoopa Union 5S rechargeable hand warmer which can heat for 15 hours constantly!
