Skiing Equipment: What You Need to KnowBy: Jonny Bowden Skiing is fairly equipment-heavy -- not as bad as, say, diving, but a whole lot more than running. You'll need skis, boots, bindings, poles and clothing. Let's save the skis for last and talk about the boots first.
The most important thing to learn, as in any speed sport, is control -- particularly as you pick up speed, which can be a bit scary the first time around. Control means learning how to stop. For safety reasons and for ultimate enjoyment of the sport, I can't make the following recommendation strongly enough: Take a lesson. If you can afford it, take an individual lesson. You'll find it to be money extremely well spent. If money is a concern (and who among us can say it isn't?), get together with three friends and take a group lesson. Trust me on this one: Skiing isn't something to dive into without guidance from a pro. page 1 of 3 | Next Page
