In terms of safety, bindings are the most important piece of your equipment. They
need to hold the foot firmly to the ski and yet be sensitive enough
to release should a fall put excessive strain on your leg. They need
to retain enough elasticity to pull your boot back to the centre of
the ski in the event of a near-release. Always make sure your boots
are compatible with your skis before setting off up the mountain.
Ski boots are one of the most vital pieces of equipment you can buy, being the
piece of equipment that transfers what you want to do to the skis
on your feet. It is important not to oversize as all boots are designed
to be comfortable at the right foot size. The socks you wear will
also be important. Always wear socks that wick moisture away from
your feet to ensure maximum comfort.
Ski poles are a basic piece of skiing equipment. They are mainly used for keeping
balance, moving forward on a flat or uphill slope and getting up after
a fall. In other conditions, poles can be useful for carrying equipment
or even as probing poles in avalanche situations. When buying ski
poles, finding the correct length for you is important as the poles’
length will determine your stance. If your poles are too short, you
will tend to lean forward too much.
