What is skiing?

Snow skiing is an Olympic-level competitive sport and aspirational recreational activity. It involves gliding downhill on two skis, fitted to your shoe size and appropriate to the length of your body.

But the gliding aspect of skiing is dependent on skill level and control of body movements in deftly manoeuvring around obstacles, with the help of pummels, or flying over ski jumps. 

How does skiing help your body?

Skiing not only invigorates the senses and tones the body, but is also an ideal cardiovascular exercise for heart and lung health. 

You will burn calories, strengthen muscles and build fitness in one fell swoop. 

Withstanding the cold conditions and alien snowy terrain is also an exercise in endurance and capability. 

But the high-action snow skiing experience will soon warm the body, enliven the senses and rejuvenate the spirit beyond measure.   

You might feel physically expended after a day of fun-filled down-and-uphill activity, but mentally you will be soaring as high as the snow-capped mountain peaks that you have conquered. 

How do you stay safe while skiing?

Bracing yourself for the elements and the experience means you will be off to a flying start in your skiing activity or exercise.  

You should be fully suited up in appropriate skiing attire, which includes a padded and waterproof suit, all-important ski boots, weather-resistant gloves, sunglasses, sunblock, helmet for the little ones and woollen headwear for all. 

Safety while skiing is ultimately dependent on not exceeding the speed limits and physical parameters of your mental and practical capabilities. 

Adrenaline can help by offering the technical know how in safeguarding your person and property on the ski slopes. We offer a range of learn-to-ski packages at premium ski resorts and snow-terrain parks with expert guidance by championship-level skiing instructors.
