Few things can compare to gliding on pristine snow on a beautiful sunny day. It's difficult to duplicate that feeling. That's right we are die hard skiers and snowboarders. Of course we always want ourselves and our buddies to return safely after a day out in the mountains. This is why we think it's important to give you these tips for ski and snowboard safety.
Looking for signs of past events is part of reading your route and is an important skill to practice. The news tells the stories about what happens when a huge avalanche strikes. These news stories tell you how devastating and unforgiving this natural event can be. But small avalanches are just as deadly as the larger ones. Reading your routes is really about experience than anything else. This important skill should not be ignored even though it is not that easy to learn. What you need to do is study the often hard to detect variations in the terrain. When you take the time to study the terrain, you can spot potential hazards and recognize signs of past damage. Too many people take their bindings for granted by not paying attention to their importance in maintenance and inspections they are indeed critical. Did you ever think to have them checked by your local pro shop? Are you aware of the correct setting for your weight, skiing ability, or height? Were you aware of the importance of a proper binding release during a fall? Proper maintenance of your bindings is necessary and should include inspection, adjustment and cleaning regularly before the season and during the season too.
For beginner board riders and even skiers, be smart and take some lessons prior to going out and ripping it up. Learn from a very experienced buddy or a professional instructor. This is one of the brightest things you can ever do. Additionally, keep in mind that you want to learn the correct way in the beginning, because if you end up not, you have the possibility of setting yourself up for a dangerous situation because you could realistically be attempting a maneuver incorrectly.
And doing it in an incorrect method can make you harm yourself. So get to know everything you need to know and if you end up knowing absolutely nothing - then just do like we all do and start from the beginning. Additionally, when you're performing things correctly, this will let you begin to take pleasure in it more rapidly.
Skiing and snowboarding are incredibly fun sports, as you well know if you're a skier or rider. Safety precautions and always learning can help foster a lifetime passion for this sport.
