Before you arrive to the Ski resort, for your necessary needs we stop by a ski shop first. We have about an hour before the resort opens up so you have enough time to prep yourself by stretching, using the restroom, and to put on your ski outfit. Are you not already excited to start your ski tour?
I’ll now explain some tips about the Ski gear and how to choose the proper wear. When many people are changing into the ski wear, many people wear the ski pants over their own pants but it would be wise to only wear the ski pants since there is a chance of falling down often and you would want to be able to move comfortably and safely in your wear. The purpose of this ski tour is to help you all to become familiar and accustomed to the proper ski posture. For this to be the case unfortunately you will have to fall often and bump into things. Many people try to wear many layers over their pants because of the cold weather but since the pants already has 2 layers it is already warm enough for you.
You would want to wear your ski outfit one size larger than your actual size so you would be able to move more comfortably. Also, those who want to have their pictures taken while skiing, we would recommend you to wear bright colored clothes.
Goggles & Helmet
Especially we recommend for you to rent goggles & helmet for the safety of the children while they are learning to ski and enjoying the slopes. Falling down on the snow doesn’t really hurt or won’t be too severely injured, but just in case we really recommend the rental of all the safety gears to be used for the children.
Ski gear & Boots
If you are done choosing all your skiwear, accessories, and gears then, let’s officially start the ski tour…. With the ski tour guide we will head toward the ski resort. The ski resort is only 7 minutes by vehicle from the ski shop. While you are walking don’t hesitate to take out your camera and take pictures with your family and friends.
Once you arrived at the ski resort, the next step is to rent your ski gear. After the measurements of each individual feet size are done then you would follow your ski tour guide to rent the gear. The gear is categorized into 3 sections. 1st is the ski plate, 2nd it is the boots and 3rd is the poles, it is used to help for balancing. It is not very easy to move around while carrying all 3 of this gear due to it being heavy. But you don’t need to concern about it with this tour as the ski slope is located very close from ski gear shop.
If it is your first time wearing the ski boots, it would be very uncomfortable. At that moment, what is funny is, once you are moving forward step by step you would feel like a robot as you are walking. The reason is because the boots are heavy and very tight on the feet. But once you come to the end of your ski tour, you will adjust to the boots as if you could fly in them.
The most important thing in ski tour is the safety of our customers. That is why we enforce a 10 minutes stretching time to be spent with your ski tour guide. So please follow the lead of your guide.
Now, we will go into the ski tour training.
