3 Proven Tricks and Short Tips for Maximum Ski and Snowboard Fun

We all know someone--a friend, relative or coworker--who has gotten hurt while they were skiing or snowboarding. While it is a fantastic form of entertainment it can come with a giant and painful price. The two main paths to making sure that you're doing things correctly and that you are reducing your risks is to keep your mind open and to continue learning new skills as well as always remembering your common sense. This article will help you with that by sharing three tips you can use on your next run.

Looking for signs of past events is part of reading your route and is an important skill to practice. We've all read and heard the stories on the news whenever a huge avalanche occurs. As you well know, they are devastating and unforgiving. But you need to know that small avalanches are just as deadly as the large ones you hear about on the news. It takes practice and practical experience to really learn how to read your route. It's also not the easiest skill to acquire either, but it's not something you should ignore at all. What you need to do is study the often hard to detect variations in the terrain. You can often spot potential hazards as well as recognize signs of past damage to trees, etc. Bindings, are a critical safety mechanism that should not be overlooked. Did you ever think to have them checked by your local pro shop? It's important to remember that your weight, height and skill level be considered in adjusting your bindings. Bindings are extremely important during a fall, they hsould release properly. They need to be properly maintained annually which includes inspection, adjustment, and cleaning at the beginning of each season and through out the season too.

Take some refreshers courses on controlling your turns effectively. Stop the habit of wedging during turns. Better control is within your grasp once you've mastered this skill. You'll need to have the confidence to stand on a single foot and ski so you can break the wedge habit. You simply shift your balance to one side. then slowly lighten up and tip your other side. After you master this you'll have a bit more control.

It is not possible to prevent each and every injury that is possible to suffer while snowboarding or skiing. It is like all other sports: there are some standard injuries that go with it.

It usually just depends on if you are skiing or if you are riding. If you are out in the country you need to take extra precautions for obvious reasons. If something happens you won't have help nearby. If you are riding or skiing by yourself (which is not recommended) you are going to be putting yourself at extreme and unnecessary risk. Before you go out, plan where you will go and what you will do out there.
