Every year, snowboarding in Kyrgyzstan attracts more and more people, but along with this, the risk of injury also increases, especially among beginners. Professional instructors offer several important tips to ensure your safety on the slopes:
It is essential to seek help from professionals. Learning without an instructor can lead to improper technique and, consequently, frequent falls. It is best to take your first steps under the guidance of a certified specialist.
Proper equipment is the key to your safety. Regular clothing, such as jeans and hoodies, gets wet quickly and does not protect against the cold. It is recommended to choose specialized membrane clothing. Additionally, bright colors will help you be more visible to other skiers and snowboarders.
Pay attention to your movement technique. The basic position: your knees should be slightly bent to provide cushioning. It is important to remember that when falling, you should not extend your arms – this is one of the main causes of wrist fractures.
Gradually increase the level of difficulty. Do not try to conquer "black" runs or snow parks right away. Confidently master basic turns and stopping before moving on to more complex elements.
Following these simple recommendations will help you enjoy snowboarding while avoiding unnecessary visits to the doctor and making the most of the winter mountains.
