This is your guide to discover awesome tips on what to pack for the trip, where to go and how to best enjoy your skiing experience in the Dolomites.
Choose the right SKI equipment
Having the right equipment can make the difference between having a good day on the slopes and having a cold or uncomfortable day.
Here are some tips to help you equip yourself correctly and get the most out of your skiing day.
- Skis: The model of skis will depend on both your level of experience and the type of terrain. If you are an experienced skier, your choice would be for significantly longer skis. Whereas, beginner skiers will usually be better off with shorter, more maneuverable skis.
- Boots: Ski boots need to fit your feet very well. You have to find the intermediate levels, neither too tight nor too loose, because of their relevance, both for your control over the skis and for your complete comfort.
- Thermal clothing and warmth: Dress in layers with breathable thermal clothing and a good waterproof coat. This allows you to keep warm without losing flexibility in your movements.
- Ski helmets and goggles: Safety is paramount. A good helmet helps protect you from falls and makes you more visible on sunny days or in snowstorms.
Physical conditioning: Get ready for the slopes
Skiing is a sport that demands a lot of physical strength. Therefore, it is a smart move to prepare the body before hitting the slopes.
Let’s try these exercises to make our body stronger and more resistant
Legs and core: Strong legs and a strong core are like the foundation of a house. They help you maintain balance and control while skiing. Get moving and do exercises like squats, lunges and abdominal muscle strengthening.
Cardiovascular endurance: Get your heart pumping with activities like running, biking or swimming three times a week. It will give you the energy you need to have fun.
Stretch and warm up: Before hitting the slopes, be sure to stretch and warm up your body. Dynamic stretches are a great way to prepare your muscles for the snowy adventure ahead. Stretching before and after your workout will keep you safe and help you move better in the morning.
Logistical planning: accommodation and transportation
A good logistical plan can make your ski trip much more enjoyable.
