The editors of SKI Magazine have listed total 71 tips for the savvy skier, I just select a few good ones for your reference.
4. Stand and buckle:
Don’t fasten your boots while you’re sitting down. For proper buckle tension, stand with your shins pressuring the boot tongues as you buckle. You’ll get the most accurate fit.
11. Tuning matters:
Even a novice can appreciate a freshly tuned ski. And even if you don’t hit any rocks, normal skiing degrades a tune to the point of drastic reduction in performance after five or six days. The usual tune – 1-degree base bevel, 2-degree side – works well, but you can play with it. Ask your shop about going a little sharper (.5-degree base or 3-degree side, say) for the East, or backing it off for a soft-snow Western trip. 12. Slush busters: Slushy spring day? Break out the fat skis, which aren’t just for powder. They sail over the spring slop causing you less fatigue.
15. Wet work:
Tuning with stones or diamond files? Keep them wet with slightly soapy water.
19. Vision thing 2:
Never use tissue or any paper product on lenses. Wood fibers will scratch them. Use synthetic fabric or a goggle cloth. The best way to clean them is in soap and water.
20. Vision thing 3:
When hiking, leave goggles in place on your face, rather than up on your head. They’re less apt to fog.
25. Basket case:
Nice big powder baskets are essential in deep snow, where race baskets plunge too deeply.
38. Straps off:
Unstrap poles for woods skiing. Some pros think it reduces the chance of injury in the event a basket snags in vegetation.
45. Blisters:
Second ski and tape (athletic or duct) works wonders. When proper applied, they’ll help you forget a blister’s there, no matter how bad it is.
47. Sprained knee:
Awareness helps in warding off ACL injury. Try to fall forward, rather than back. When falling rearward, just let go; don’t try to fight it. And always try to keep your hands forward, especially when falling rearward.
49. Sunburn:
Bright sun on high-altitude snow is nothing to mess with. Don’t be the geek with the red face because you thought a little color would be good. Apply sunblock. Reapply as needed.
63. Whistle in the woods:
Planning to ski in the trees a lot? Carry a whistle. It’s nice to have if your group gets separated – and a potential life-saver if you’re lost.
67. Odor beaters:
Dryer sheets in your boots will kill any smells.
69. Warm feet:
A bootfitter can fix problems that inhibit circulation. Make sure your socks and liners are dry. It’s not a bad idea to spray your feet with antiperspirant, change socks midday, and use duct tape to waterproof boots.
70. Tweaked knee:
Minimize swelling to speed recovery. Remember the term RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation. Ice it down for 20 minutes every three to four hours for the first two days. Wrap with a compression (e.g. Ace) bandage.
71. Warm trends:
Place those shake-up heat packs on the backs of your hands inside your gloves. Blood vessels are located there, not on your palms, so you’ll keep your blood, and thus your fingertips, warmer. Some gloves even come with special heat-pack pouches. |
