Hire a ski instructor! Tip 1
Tip #1. Ski for the first time with an instructor. This is undoubtedly essential. Even if you have friends who offer to teach you, the person who will teach you how to ski well will be a professional instructor. There are many things you learn on the first day, many of them fundamental to improve later on: making the wedge for braking, keeping your balance, starting to glide… and, without a doubt, it is essential to learn the techniques from a professional.
Especially on your first day of skiing. In this way, you will avoid vices, and unnecessary pain falls… and he will correct and control your movements at all times. At Blanca Nieve, we have qualified instructors… great professionals! So if you need a good ski instructor in the Sierra Nevada don’t hesitate to contact us here.
Bring or rent the right equipment. Tip 2
It’s very likely that, as it’s your first time, you won’t have your own ski equipment, but don’t worry! You can hire it without any problem and, what’s more, the rental shop will advise you and help you choose the one that best suits you. At Blanca Nieve, we also offer our customer’s equipment rental service.
Clothing and accessories. Tip 3
To enjoy your first day of skiing (and all those that will follow) it is also important to be comfortable with your clothes and to have the right ski equipment.
It’s cold in the snow, so you’ll need to dress warmly, but always comfortable. Dress in clothes that are warm but still allow you to move comfortably and breathable – after all, you’re going to be doing sport. Of course, don’t forget good gloves and sunglasses.
What are you waiting for? Tip 4
Use sun protection. A lot of people who go out in the snow for the first time think… “If it’s winter, I won’t get sunburnt”. Snow works like a mirror, reflecting the sun’s rays, so its impact is much greater than in places without snow. It is therefore essential to use high sun protection on both your face and lips so that you don’t go home with a bad sunburn.
Slowly. Don’t get overwhelmed. Tip 5
The best thing to do is to go slowly. Don’t get overwhelmed if you see that you are not making any progress. The important thing is to go little by little. Everyone has their own learning pace and if you force yourself you will end up not enjoying the day… Progress, yes… but each one at their own pace! And above all…
ENJOY!
And without a doubt, the best thing of all is to enjoy yourself. Enjoy the snow, the pleasure of doing sport in the heights, the views that the mountain offers you, the fresh air… the thousand and one things that the mountain and much more the Sierra Nevada has to offer!
