What equipment do you need for downhill/alpine skiing?
mariadetts asked:
I have recently gotten into downhill/alpine skiing. I am wondering what equipment should you have to ski comfortably, and also, if you have any, tips for skiing and getting better at it. Any websites with any of this would be helpful as well.
Thanks for your time!

make sure you go to a ski shop where you can talk to one of there employees and they will assist you for what ski fits you best. or go online to ski websites and look at the reviews and read the tech specs to find your proper ski!

Een lijst van wat ik het ski?en neem (I' m 13 heeft en 11 jaar) geski?d:
- lang ondergoed (basislaag voor zowel bovenkant als bodem)
- vachtoverhemd
- het paar van ski hijgt (als u don' t heeft skibroek, zal de zweetbroek doen, maar u kijkt het beste in tan skibroek:]) – jasje (modieus ben. er zijn niets meer dorkier dan een 80' s skijasje)
- skisokken (of dikke, lange sokken die tot de bovenkant van uw laars stijgen)
- laarzen (u kunt hen huren als u behoefte)
- ski?t (u kunt deze huren, ook)
- polen (opnieuw, kunt u deze huren)
- helm/hoed (ik verkies een helm omdat het VEEL veiliger is en warmer houdt uw hoofd veel dan een hoed)
- beschermende brillen (of als it' warm s, zonnebril)
Hoop dit helpt!
Sommige goede websites van het skimateriaal: (één punt per dag en ONTZAGWEKKENDl]A list of what I take skiing (I’m 13 and have been skiing for 11 years):
- long underwear (base layer for both top and bottom)
- fleece shirt
- pair of ski pants (if you don’t have ski pants, sweat pants will do, but you look the best in tan ski pants :])
- jacket (be fashionable. there is nothing dorkier than an 80′s ski jacket)
- ski socks (or thick, long socks that go up to the top of your boot)
- boots (you can rent them if you want)
- skis (you can rent these, too)
- poles (again, you can rent these)
- helmet / hat (i prefer a helmet because it is MUCH safer and keeps your head much warmer than a hat)
- goggles (or if it’s warm, sunglasses)
Hope this helps!

It all really depends where and when you are skiing. In the middle of winter u might want to dress in more clothes then the spring. No two models of skiies are the same your best chance would be to talk to a person a ski shop and they can find whats best such as a a racer would not want freestyle trick skiies because it would slow them down. Research where you will ski most for best results.

You need skis, gloves, goggles, hat, waterproof pants/ jacket, thick socks, and ski boots. If you are a beginner, I wouldn’t suggest poles-it’s easier for most people to learn without them. Also, if you plan on falling a lot, I definetly recommend a helmet. Also, sunscreen is a really good idea because like when you swim, the sun is reflected off the water and onto your skin. This applies for snow-it is really quite easy to get burned up on the mountians if the suns out!
Have fun with the wonderful spring skiing!
