STEP 1. SKI

BASICS: LIFT AND

EQUIPMENT

FIRST THINGS FIRST, THE BASICS INCLUDE SKI SUITS, EQUIPMENT,

AND LIFTS. SKI SUITS AND EQUIPMENT CAN BE RENTED FROM
MOST SKI RESORTS IF YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR OWN. BEGINNER

SKIERS SHOULD SELECT SKIS WITH PLATES THE SAME LENGTH OR

10 CM SHORTER THAN THE SKIER’S HEIGHT. SKI BOOTS WILL
CONNECT DIRECTLY WITH THE SKI PLATES AND SHOULD FIT

NICELY, HOLDING THE FEET IN PLACE WITHOUT BEING TOO TIGHT.

POLES CAN BE USED TO HELP WITH BALANCE, AS WELL AS

RELEASE THE BOOTS FROM THE SKI PLATES. THESE SHOULD BE AS
HIGH AS THE SKIER’S BELLYBUTTON. LIFT OPERATIONS ARE

GENERALLY DIVIDED INTO MORNING, AFTERNOON, EVENING, AND

MIDNIGHT RUNS. BE SURE TO PURCHASE A LIFT PASS THAT

MATCHES YOUR PLANNED SKI TIME!
