Two Austrian skiers were killed in an avalanche. How do skiers ensure their personal safety?

Skiing itself is an exciting and energetic sport, which is inherently dangerous. No matter from the environment, weather or equipment, it puts forward high requirements for skiers. Therefore, if you want to ensure personal safety when skiing, you must take strict preparation measures, know your skiing ability, and don't try blindly. This is the most important thing for skiers.

? Up to now, skiing has evolved into many types and competitions, and each category has similar requirements for athletes' own venues and equipment. We ordinary people should be exposed to tourist skiing, which is not very demanding for the athletes themselves and is suitable for all ages. But any sport is dangerous. Let me share some measures with you:

First, pay attention to the difference between weather and snow quality before skiing.

Skiing in resorts before and after snow is actually very different. The most obvious thing is that after snowing, the snow is fluffy. If it is not mixed and compacted by a snowmaker, it will form a hard shell, which requires skiers more. There are also differences in skiing at different times of the day. Skiers are most likely to melt snow in the morning.

Second, plan your own skiing process and sections.

? In order to improve the experience of skiers, ski resorts divide ski resorts into primary, intermediate and advanced ski resorts, and skiers should choose trails similar to their own abilities according to their own skills. Junior skiers should not go to intermediate or advanced ski resorts. Before skiing, know the slope, height, direction, etc. The area where you want to ski, and know the condition of ski trails, so as to avoid being caught off guard in case of accidents.

Third, the choice of equipment.

There are many kinds of skiing equipment, from low-grade to high-grade. Skiing beginners had better choose skis with good elasticity, light weight and big ski head. If conditions permit, it is actually best to buy a set of special equipment. Skiers should choose equipment according to their own ski resort, and they will explain clearly when renting equipment in the ski resort.

Fourth, skiing precautions

Control your skiing speed and avoid collision. Just like driving a car, you should pay attention to slowing down because of poor technology, large terrain ups and downs and many corners. Stay strictly in the snowy road, get up and leave as soon as possible after falling in the area where the line of sight is blocked. Can't go backwards. In fact, the precautions when skiing are the same as when driving. Just pay more attention.

Skiing is actually a thing suitable for all ages. Many problems with skiing are that skiers want to challenge themselves and regard skiing as an extreme sport. Everyone should pay attention to the scale of any sport.
