Women's issues.

Women's issues. The questions that are asked of women, rising to go skiing. Not invented matters, but the most that either there is real. Sometimes it seems that some of these issues, many men, too, wanted to ask, but just afraid to show that they do not know. So read: suddenly learn something new.

 

   1. I know that some of the skiing buy skis above their growth, while others - below. What it involves? I think that is more convenient to manage small skis.

Of course, short skis more obedient, especially to the small velocity. But the fact is that every beginning has gradually turns into a ride, and turning it often happens much faster than uspeyut turn the skis on the legs owner. Shutter speed increases, a short ski to the increased speed is not able to provide a stable line of descent - they begin to hunt and did so with great success, rather than their longer cousins. In addition, short skis are much more difficult to balance in the longitudinal direction: a little earlier rejected and they are out of your donors fly. Therefore rostovka skis (the length) is selected on the basis of «middle» - midway between the stable and easy handling skating. Now almost all the manufacturers recommend choosing skis to the chin (about 15 - 20 cm shorter than your height) - if you feel uncertain and rolls slowly and cautiously, to the nose (about 10 -15 cm less growth) if you go for a medium-speed and a length equal to the growth, if you are quite sport and trying to go fast.

  2. I know that there are classical and carving skis. They differ geometry - a classic almost straight sidewall ski with Carvin - curves shrinking to the middle. Why did they even break up into all sorts there friraydovye, ollraundovye, universal, and so on? This is even more confusing buyers. Is it not so?

Of course, confusing. But the condition of the snow is not the same: you can ride on a hard ledenistym slopes, but you can - on freshly polutorametrovomu lightest puhu, you can seek to short sharp turn to the small velocity, as can be - to dugam length of a hundred meters or more in the very speed of the car. Some ride only on the highest possible speed, while others - could hardly crawl. So manufacturers are trying to please each category rolls brotherhood. One - perfectly cling to the icy slope of the narrow (for accelerating the transition from rotation to rotation) and severe (for work at high speed) skis for slalom and giant slalom, the other - almost twice wider skis (skis, these much larger area of support) and much less stringent - to ensure that they are not тонули svezhenapadavshem snow. Short (slightly longer than 150 cm), and springy ski with a very deep side-cut - for those who like short sharp turns, skis almost half a meter long - for speed skating on broken and smerzshemusya komyami snow. Well, and so on. And while you ride ukatannyh, but not ice, slopes, at low speeds - a range of skis really to anything, only complicates the choice.

  3. So whether uniseksny (sorry for дурацкое word) downhill skiing?

In my opinion - in most cases - women's ski market is the course aimed at increasing the sales volumes of models of secondary and below average. So amateur downhill skiing, perhaps uniseksny if approached by him in terms of «performance» performance. The design is different, but we can not say that a woman will not be able to ride a unisex models or vice versa - a man will not enjoy goryh skis, which the developer proposes to women. Although every year more and more ski manufactured specifically for women - they are lighter, but the design was developed taking into account the wishes of women.

  4. What gives a model for women's skiing women?

Women's Skiing is not very different from men's. Indeed, the difference is not very principled, but the developers, first, want to please women, to encourage them to purchase new skis, and even in such a way as a special issue of female models of skis, and secondly, is this attention to you, the women not a pleasure? Is it because this does not become easier to choose, do not particularly think of the terms, technologies, carving properties, and other mysterious word?

In fact, that a man may say:

Skiing for women and a little more softer unisex models. You can simply take the model of «pomladshe» potschatelnee her and select, that is, before buying, and specify such characteristics as weight.

Installation of anchorages shifted slightly forward. Due to peculiarities of the structure of the female figure at the center of gravity of squatting women shifted back a little stronger than that of men. To accommodate this feature, and shifting anchorage. In my opinion - neprintsipialno, you can ask the installer to move the conductor fastenings (zhelezyaka, which drills holes in the ski) at 1 cm forward and you can not ask: 99% of women will not notice the differences in the behavior of skis with the fittings in this way.

The geometry of skis slightly modified. Waist shifted slightly ahead again by about 1 cm Neprintsipialnoe, in my view, the difference. In any case, the difference will feel just very, very good ride expert.

Design. The most noticeable thing, but alas - here it can not be helped. Or pay for raduyuschie eye color, or accept the fact that not too feminine ... Everything else - unisex with a slight softening of lines and tones. Although there is precise: the taste, color ...

  5. Why Women's skis are not the tests are conducted, or rather - not obosablivayutsya?

In the United States - obosablivayutsya, but even there, not too much. «Even there» ... The point is that there is a very strong women's movement for equal rights with men, and this movement comes sometimes to the point of absurdity. In most cases, women are recommended certain models of skis, of all tested. It justified the recommendation is simple: there are models that are most liked testers - women. In our tests so far are too few women take part in order to isolate their feedback and to make reliable conclusions on a model with a female point of view.

  6. Why and why new models of skis on acute socks now prileplyayut any supplements? Moreover, different firms and materaly patterns and colors of these different additions. How they really need? Are they not fall off at the first collision, for example, koryagoy?

Do not fall off. The design of these nashlepok special latches that provide a strong attachment to the ski socks. In fact, these nashlepki other than decorative, have two more meaning. First - they protect the toes of the skis from shocks obstacle, and thus dramatically reduces the likelihood that the skis during the impact rassloyatsya. Second - they are thick and stupid, so - if you're in someone vedete, then the injury will be less than if you do this without them.

  7. Is there technology to scratches? I read about this in the same directory.

Everybody knows how elegant look, new skis, and how to spoil the mood of the scratches found on the surface of bright color. It is clear that no plastic coating will not be able to match the strength of pipe of hardened steel. And in the queue for the lift so many willing to go to your brand new ski for its old. Make a decorative coating is so strong that it had no scratches - it is simply impossible, given the conditions under which it operates. Therefore, virtually all firms invent some kind of polymer coating on which the scratches less noticeable. These finishes and called «technologies against scratches». In fact, the choice of skis for such things to pay attention, in my opinion, it makes sense at least - when all the other characteristics you are udvoletvoryayut.

  8. We wanted her daughter, to buy one set of skis for two, will go on stage. But we have different size shoes - she had 41, I 37, a length of skis should we choose?

The choice of length of skis footprint imposes no size shoe, and the weight and growth of skiing and skating style. If these settings are you close with her daughter, then you can take one set. If different - yes, you need two. In doing so, it must also bear in mind how much you have different sizes of shoes: if such a difference in the length of the underside, you will need to buy a mounting intended for rental. Such attachment can be adjusted to any size shoe, so you can at the same pair of skis, and even put a man with size 45 feet, if you wish. Models anchorages for hire, usually have the word in the title of rent or rental.

  9. What clothes need to have a journey to the g / resort? (1.sportivnaya 2. Daily (the need for an evening dress and the studs, or bryuchek with otglazhennymi arrows ?:-))

In fact, a set of clothing is very much dependent on where and when exactly you are going. For example, if you fly in velvet holiday season into one of the fashionable resorts of Europe and plan to stay in hotels of category 4 stars, not the thick puff-whether you need, but the evening dress and shoes may be useful: in casinos and good restaurants in winterized trousers not all go. And vice versa: if you are going to Sheregesh or Kirovsk in January and will stay in a private apartment, puff and «dutye» boots are certainly required, but the shoes - not sure. Major - to be comfortable and not wet, ie, thin, slip on the snow at the synthetic fabric sintepone go. Slip - for security reasons. In a non-suit, slippery fabric, after the fall to stay well below where it left otstegnuvshiesya skis. And that's bad, though. Much worse, if you stopped after the impact of a rock ledge or a mighty pine ... Of course, today a special suit of «dyshashih» antiskid material and much more pleasant and safer.

  10. How to check when buying skis? Try to bend them? Why is this done?

Such a «check» Ski - echo those times when all the skies were odinkovoy forms - the so-called «classical» geometry, and differ only in their severity. By the way ski resist efforts flexing its rights, can be estimated to determine the degree of its rigidity. In addition, since in most cases the skis were not new and were bought with the hands, the likelihood that you are trying to sell the skis with a hidden defect (rassloivshiesya and then glued together) was very high. As to how to ski when you try to maintain its strong prognut, an experienced skier could determine whether it is repaired. Currently, such a «test», particularly in the acquisition of new skis, some lost sense: modern skis even higher target groups: expert and sports, may be creating a sense of the softness of a deflection, with real-skating also be very powerful. On the other hand, some information such verification can provide: the ski shows a strong deflection of the ratio of deflection heels and wear skis that gives advanced skiers on how the model behaves under certain driving conditions, such as when landing after jumping, with skating on hilly slope, the dense heavy wet snow, etc.

  11. I took last year in rental skis, they do not like me, I do not want to buy skis from this company. What do you advise?

Rolling skis quite uninteresting to all producers, so that you are not liked, does not say anything bad about the rest of the ski company. For ski rental requirements simple: the strength and maximum survivability. You do not break them? Then, they performed their task well. Such models are working on a hundred-odd days of the season, and held at this load for several years.

  12. At the same equality of recommendations from instructors who are better - male or female?

The main thing is that the instructor was good, and its floor does not really matter. Choose someone who likes more. But there is another point of view: my wife believes that a woman would be the best instructor, a man and a man - woman. There is one rule that must be followed: do not use the services of good friends, relatives or friends: from the little good will.

  13. How many hours a day for optimal learning?

3 - 4 hours. In one hour you have something to learn, but the skills can not fix. A 3 - 4 hours on the one hand, it is enough time to assimilate a large amount of information, on the other hand - the next day What will be learned.

  14. If with me something happens (strong contusion, fracture) on the mountain, and nobody near - what to do?

Do not go alone. Never. Under no circumstances. Or rather - not to go beyond the tracks, on which rolls people. In the worst case, you will find a trail before dark. But if you're lying helpless in some party, for the pebbles or trees - the ending may be sad.

  15. How to stop falling?

Learning. Learning. Once again, I learn. The truth-the truth - only well able to ride the skier falls rarely. And learn best from a good instructor.

  16. I am going to the mountains for the first time. What to bring?

Clothes, hat and gloves, glasses, purse or backpack, ski jacket, explaining the small banana or a bag-ryukzachok for details.

Cotton платочек in which retracted sweat, as droplets of sweat - this is the lens, repeatedly increasing effect of sunlight.

Without sunscreen (with a bigger factor - 18 +), you, especially in spring, before the burn blisters - the mountain the sun is very ill.

Hygienic lipstick, it is highly desirable with sun-protecting properties. The lips on the chilly wind in the mountains of dry and crack.

Flask for juice or brandy - on demand.

Lubrication ski - a small package of universal grease is enough.

  17. Why and why now skis on the planes do some irregularities, as well as a platform? And I heard that there are platforms and skis, and anchorages, and shoes. How to find the right balance between all these platforms for the convenience of skiing?

The easiest option: purchase a kit that the manufacturer recommends. Otherwise, have to deal with the particular design and characteristics of each unit of equipment and their compatibility, but this can be extremely difficult.

  18. Black sliding surfaces of skis really gives a great speed on a slope? It should be fully or partially black?

If you care about their skis, lubricate them before each skating, you know that the slide grease, rather than a plastic surface. Well, if you feel that grease to anything, then the difference in the properties of black and colored plastic exactly it, even if it actually exists.

  19. If you have your equipment (skis, boards), how to pack that had not been "excruciatingly painful" for the broken skis, bent sticks, etc.?

Wrap skis or a board of soft things or besiege things packaged in plastic bags and then packed in the bag. This method is used for decades, and broken equipment is extremely rare - only if the porters will throw blankets with skiing and snowboarding with a height of several meters to concrete vertically, but to protect themselves from such barbarism is virtually impossible.

  20. How to select skis, binding, boots, that was not sorry for the money spent?

Choose something that is weighing all the «outside» and «to», buy, and then look for reasons only "FOR" the decision. And then, as far as skating, finding more and more pluses selected model. Then the joy and pleasure guaranteed. Otherwise - trouble ... And the sun has spots. But the main thing - the pleasure becomes less and less.
