SKIING

Let me tell you about my favourite sport, skiing. I have been practising this sport for many years and I would like to give you some facts about this wonderful sport.

Skiing is a free time activity and winter sport in which the people use skis to glide on snow.

When you want to go skiing you have to be fit because skiing can be very exhausting.

Equipment:

·        Skis. There are some different kinds of skis like the Twin-tip skis which are designed to move forwards or backwards or just normal skis where you can move forwards but not backwards

·        Boots and bindings

·        You can use poles to keep the balance easier

·        Helmets are very important

·        ski suits which has to be warm and waterproof

Children learn how to ski when they are young at the age of 5 or 6. They take skiing lessons in the mountains and their trainer show them how to ski.

But there are also many adults who can’t ski so there are ski lessons especially for them.

But skiing can also be very very dangerous.

A big reason why people get injured during skiing is because they don’t stand to the rules. There are signs which say “caution avalanche danger” but lots of the people ignore those sings. So many people die because of an avalanche.

But when you stand to the rules I think you won't get injured.
