Off the ski slopes techniques - such as skiing in fresh snow - Part 1

This is what it is all about - the white stuff! No more cards on the catwalk at the crowd and try the fat lady in a purple jacket to avoid, because this is the freedom of man, which is the last. Just as I feel it was the first time I was asked to go off-piste skiing in fresh snow below. This was exciting, challenging and very different from what I had before.

Before you try it, you have to answer this question: Are you ready to complete aBeginner again? Yes? Well, read on. You can get the hang of the hour. You can be a bit 'more, but the time it slowly and carefully read the next section, and acting, you will be able to ski off-piste in deep snow. Before you go out and try, I recommend you read the article on avalanches. This is not to discourage you, but give an idea of what is sure to go skiing and what not.

To succeed you need to ski in fresh snowcarefully, and feel you have what you are doing. You must be in place with the balance, because the snow is always trying to engage the outer edges of the skis, where to try them. They seem to be stuck in tram lines, and if it somehow manages to do it again, sinking the tips of the skis to stop dead, and toss out the front.

I'll be sexist here. The girls seem to have the dust runs faster than boys. They are much more gentle with the stuff and this is one ofSecrets of skiing powder. Go lightly and treat the snow with the same respect you would give the spider gently finger out of the bathtub.

Off-piste skiing is about the only situation where I would recommend ski tip shorter, softer, as you may be in use. Here are some of the great modern skiing should really useful, maybe 15 centimeters (6 inches) shorter than normal, but the first groped normal.

Now for the business. The following two exercises arethe first phase and, more importantly, so do not jump.

Find a climb of untouched powder snow, steep enough to run down at a steady rate. Do not worry too much about the people who come with a beard, do not cry ruin their shit special little angel.

With your weight slightly back from the center of the instep and equal on both skis, jumping up and down carefully. The skis should be about 4 "apart. You should feel like jumping up and down on aTrampoline, the snow compresses on your bike down. The trampoline effect is like magic powder skiing. The snow must be at least knee, or he will be the effect of jump.

Again, if your weight should be learning off-piste technique. It should be a little 'back from the middle of the foot that is in the direction of the heel. I do not think that a good idea to encourage you to sit down and on the heels of the skis when you try to skiDeep stuff. Your skis are more prone to speed, and will not be able to correctly anticipate the next round, so remember to relax! When you begin to appreciate the powder skiing should hang your weight moving forward in the middle of the feet.

Now repeat this exercise, but this time wants to alternate left and right pole plant as you walk slowly down the slope. (Do not turn over!) Do you think your balance is correct. The distance that your body goes up and down is important. As you go upPlace your post, the head should be almost at hand! It 'a long descent. Consider the analogy of driving while doing this, both hands firmly in front of you and face down the mountain.

You can go to part 2 now.
