When choosing the length of the snowboard, the longest should not exceed the height of the wrist when the arm is raised, and the shortest should not be shorter than the crotch department.

For beginners, skis that are too long are not easy to control and turn more difficult. Not conducive to improving their technical level. For beginners, it is best to add about 5 cm to your own height.
Skilled skiers can choose a longer, less elastic and slightly heavier ski, which can increase the stability while sliding and keep the metal edge of the ski tightly on the snow. , which is conducive to the skier to fully manipulate the ski and slide out a beautiful arc. The material of the snowboard bottom plate is mainly made of plastic or polymer nylon material. The bottom plate friction coefficient of the polymer material is small, which is better than that of the plastic bottom plate. The edge of the ski needs to be sharp at all times so that it doesn’t slip when you apply gravity to it. The skis used by professional skiers are said to have shaving edges.

Choice of ski boots
A good pair of ski boots should have the following conditions: there should be no looseness on the sides of the ankles; a little tighter buckles can enhance the snow The bearing capacity of the shoes, and can transmit the force of the foot to the snowboard, making it easier to control the snowboard; a good sole and a comfortable inner boot cover can ensure the comfort and warmth of the foot, and can transfer the weight and the force of the foot. Evenly pass through the sole to the snowboard.
The choice of ski boots: The size of the ski boots affects how the skier feels. Therefore, the choice of ski boots should make people feel comfortable and fit well.
