The Bluffer's Guide to Skiing


Overview

Style Try to adopt one necessary habit before slotting into your bindings. Always tap the sole of the ski boot hard with your ski pole to dislodge compacted snow or mud. There is probably a safety reason for this but, more importantly, experts generally do it, so why shouldn't you? Attitude sickness Altitude sickness is a common complaint amongst those who don't want to admit they are chronically unfit. Snow ploughs Carvers are wider at the tip and tail than conventional skis, up to 30 cm shorter and thus a lot easier to maneuver. Designed to take the effort out of carving a turn, they are a godsend to skiers who never quite come to terms with the concept of making any sort of turn in the first place. Binding There is no such thing as a comfortable ski boot; just concentrate on finding one which doesn't make you pray for an early death. The admission of ski boot agony suggests the probability of inexperience. Experts never whine about their boots.
