Skiing

I went skiing some time back and it was a lot of fun the first two times I went up the hill. Then it started to get to me. Here's a couple of things to keep in mind if you want a longer, better skiing experience.

• Do not wear jeans! Wear nylon pants or something that doesn't absorb water. Same with the jacket.
• Wear waterproof gloves.
• See to it that your boots are your size and not too tight. If you think there's something wrong with them, ask for help and get it checked. 
• When you rent boots and skiis and if you happen to exchange your shoes for another size, don't forget to change the screw settings of your skiis.
• Try not to get snow inside you. Once that happens snow melts and that is the end of your skiing experience.
• To slow down, your skiis should form an inverted 'V' .
  The ski poles do not help you in anything except maintaining balance. They can't help you change the direction. Your feet and you do that!
• Be prepared to FALL!! You will fall for sure, and it is part of the fun. So go ahead, enjoy!

Happy skiing :)
