二、学习滑雪应注意什么？What should be noted when learning to ski/snowboard? Please click to see snowSafety
1、 对于初学者来讲学习滑雪一定要选一套合适的雪具。雪鞋的选择一定要和脚，雪板的长度及雪杖的长度要根据个人的身高和体重来进行选择。
2、滑雪护具要配戴齐全，如：手套、头盔、护肘、护膝、护臀等；尤其是对于初学者更要注意护具的配备，护肤用品亦要备，因为雪对紫外线的反射很厉害。
Complete protective gear should be worn, including gloves, a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, and padded shorts. This is especially important for beginners, and skincare products should also be brought, as snow reflects UV rays significantly.

3、选择和自己滑雪技术相适应的雪道。
Choose ski trails that match your skiing skill level.

4、注意雪场内部的各种警示语及滑雪相关安全知识。
Pay attention to the various warning signs within the ski resort and learn about ski-related safety information.

5、滑雪是消耗体力比较厉害的一项有氧运动，在学习滑雪时要“量力而行”感到有劳累感时要及时休息，尤其孩子在学习滑雪时家长或教练一定要注意孩子的体力消耗情况。
Skiing is an aerobic exercise that can be quite physically demanding. When learning to ski, it is important to ‘know your limits’.

三、怎样在最短的时间内学会滑雪？How can you learn to ski in the shortest time possible?
1、滑雪是一项结合运动学、力学、生理学等相关学科的一项体育运动项目，此运动项目由于在特定的高山地形进行，所以，滑雪有一定得危险性，因此学习滑雪靠自己来悟是有一定的风险性，尤其是对初学滑雪者，一定聘请一位专业教练员进行指导。
Skiing is a sport that combines disciplines such as kinesiology, mechanics, and physiology. Due to the specific high-altitude terrain where skiing takes place, it carries certain risks. Therefore, learning to ski on your own can be risky, especially for beginners, and it is essential to hire a professional instructor for guidance.

2、在教练教学时，一定要集中注意力，认真听课，认真看教练员给予示范的动作。
During lessons, it is important to focus and listen carefully to the instructor, paying close attention to the demonstrations provided.

3、学习滑雪在有效的时间内一定要配合教练员，个人行为不要脱离教练员给予指导的技术动作。
While learning to ski, you should work closely with the instructor and not deviate from the technical movements they teach.

4、学员在课后一定要重复练习教练员给予传授的技术动作，方可提高滑雪技术。
After class, students must practice the techniques taught by the instructor to improve their skiing skills.

四、滑雪装备 Sport Equipments

以下视频是对于如何选购滑雪装备的基本讲解，可以进行参考。The reference video.

对于参加滑雪课程的学员，无论是skier还是snowboarder，我们学校要求必须佩戴滑雪头盔。

对双板（ski）学员，通常要到六级才开始学习使用雪杖（ski pole），所以青少年双板初级学员不需要佩戴雪杖。

对单板（snowboard）学员，每一个snowboard都必须安装一个保险绳（snowboard leash），用来把板连到鞋上，防止snowboard意外从山坡上滑下去。如果没有这个，雪场工作人员有权拒绝你使用缆车。

The Responsibility Codes provide the basic rules of conduct and must be followed by all using the terrain.

For our students , whether they are skiers or snowboarders, our school requires that they wear ski/snowboard helmets.

For ski students, they typically do not start using ski poles until they reach level six, so beginner youth ski students are not required to use ski poles.

For snowboard students, every snowboard must be equipped with a snowboard leash to connect the board to the boots, preventing the snowboard from sliding down the slope unintentionally. If this is not present, the ski resort staff has the right to deny you access to the lift.

     
      

      对单板（snowboard）学员，以下滑雪护具是我们推荐装备的：

      护臀（impact short）
     
     
      护膝（knee pad）
     

     护腕（wrist guild）
