Top 10 tips for skiing, snowboarding in 2017 – San Francisco Examiner

Top 10 tips for skiing, snowboarding in 2017 – San Francisco Examiner

January 13, 2017 By Shaun Leave a Comment

In order to avoid disaster on your next skiing or snowboarding trip, there are ten tips that you should follow. They include training for the next trip, working on your balance, increasing your cardio workouts, improving flexibility, caring for your knees in the event you have arthritis, buying new equipment, avoiding using pole straps (as they are known to cause injury), making sure your bindings are not too tight, watching how fast you are going, and have as much fun as you can, but not too much.

Key Takeaways:

  • Given the current shapes of skis and boards, carving requires balance more than strength. Train on a balance board or a slack line, or simply stand with one leg on a pillow and close your eyes.
  • There is no other sport that puts you in the flexed position, loading the front of your knees, for four to six hours at a time. So training for skiing and boarding actually helps.
  • Snow sports are rarely at sea level. Most people do not enjoy their first few days in the mountains, due to the low atmospheric pressure of oxygen and the dehydration.
