By Celina Heath


Ski itself is a narrow strip of wood, plastic or metal that is worn on the foot to glide over the snow. This is often attached to the boots with some bindings, either it is free, lockable or maybe permanently secured in the heel. Its original intention is to aid the travel over snow, but are now used mainly for sports. A ski Himalaya is often attached to some vehicles such as snowmobiles and snowcats.

It does not sink since it has the width and length that defines its surface area and thus making it possible to stay on top of the snow. This has gone many changes already just to meet the changing needs and demands of people. This can be classified as fiberglass, cap designs or laminated wood.

Before involving yourself to such sport, it is essential that you must wear the right equipment. It is usually made depending on the weight or height of the person. Yet, you should select the exact design that can help you going. Select the goggles, pants and helmets that could give you the warmth that you will be needing in your entire duration.

Gravity would be responsible in taking you from the top of the mountain to the bottom in the most direct route. However, this would not mean that it would always be the safest and desirable way. You should always learn to steer to various direction and stop when there is a need to.

Snow has been so slippery. Balance would be the key for you to successfully slide down and so that you will not have much difficulty. You should have the stance which you feel comfort and thus keep you stable throughout. You must apply a sun cream for your skin to have another layer of protection and keep you from having burns.

The pistes have different color codes that will tell its level of difficulty. Those green slopes are among the easiest ones. Red, blue and black are the colors that are considered difficult. You should ski with caution and do not try to dive whenever it is dark such as early morning and during the late afternoon.

In moving the skis, be sure to clamp it to your boots which should be on the feet. If you wish to turn right, it must also go with you. The trick would be to point your skis to the direction where you would want to go by simply turning it with the use of your feet. You must get familiar with the feelings and which muscles would be used.

You can possibly hurt some people if you think you can no longer stop and control your speed. You may simple point your toes towards each other and push apart your heels slowly if you want to stop and slow down. Be sure point your feet to the direction that you desire to go if you like to move the skis.

When you are planning to ski Himalaya, check whether you have an insurance to get you paid whenever you get covered up with snow or you can hit some slopes. The airlifts will be very costly. Be sure that the travel insurance that you availed will include various sports that you want to play.
