So, these days at JSKI have been busy preparing this year's ski season.
This year we have our base camp at Daemyung Vivaldi Park to help out our foreign guests.
Without a doubt, the most important thing in every ski resort is the safety, because skiing is an outdoor & extreme sport.
Last week, Vivaldi resort had a safety training with their patrol officers and rescue workers about their safety regulations.
The main focus about the ski lifts are, accidents on the ski lifts, installation of pulley for rescuing people, etc.
These training systems are important factors for tourists deciding to ski in South Korea.
These are some of the safety rules which people can put into practice personally.
1. Choose the slope that is right for your level.
Whatever sports you do, it is more common to bite off more than you can chew.
The first time you wear your ski boots, most beginners are nervous and worry about skiing, but the more they learn how to ski, the more they become relax they get used to the skies. It is a definitely good a situation until they become too greedy of themselves. If a beginner tries to slide down a steeper slope, it is very dangerous for them not to only himself/herself but also other skiers because controlling your speed is not an easy task for beginner. He/she may crash into others or structures. Therefore, you should enjoy skiing in a more suitable safe course.
2. Build sufficient strength.
Skiing are mainly uses of muscles in the femoral region, buttocks and abdomen. So, it is advised to strengthen these muscles in everyday life. A sudden attempt at skiing in winter without doing any exercises at all, will cause strain in your cardiopulmonary function, joints and muscles.
The best exercises to improve the cardiopulmonary function and leg muscles is cycling and jogging.
3. Have all the necessary equipment
It is recommended to use your own personal ski boots. Also, it is very important to choose a pair of ski boots that is the right size for your feet. In particular, you must pay attention to check the status of the binding as well as the conditions of your skis and poles. Also, make sure to wear protective gears, such as a helmet and goggles. To protect yourself from frostbites and eye glare, you must also put on the proper suit and gloves, etc.
4. Do not neglect training and observe the safety rules.
The most common cause of sports injuries are due to negligence of training. A first-time skier learning too many things all at once and attempting to ski down a slope is beyond the level of skills and may cause a number of problems. Ski involves acceleration. So, own your mistake can cause injuries to other people. Therefore it is recommended to learn about and observe safety rules as well as skiing techniques beforehand.
5. Check the conditions of slope in advance.
You must check the conditions of a slope to avoid obstacles. Also, when the quality of snow is not good, try skiing at a course that is a level lower than your ordinary course or slowing down while on the slope. Special caution is required to prevent injuries in areas where the snow has melted and frozen into ice, where the snow is partially melted or when it is snowing.
6. Stop skiing immediately if you're feeling tired or fatigued.
You must stop when tired to prevent serious accidents. Skiing continuously for 3 ~ 4 hours can cause high levels of fatigue. So, you need to time arrange appropriately. Accumulated fatigue will lead to so-called over-training syndrome. This will make you irritable and can cause insomnia. This will also lower your judgement and appetite as well as even causing constipation or diarrhea.
7. Warm-up enough.
It is important to stretch your muscles softly about 10 minutes.
Advanced stretching may avoid sudden muscle convulsions. Actually, 77% of injuries are caused due to insufficient warming-up.
8. Don't be afraid to fall down.
Skiers who are good at falling down are good skiers. So, it is much safer to fall down safely than to fall in a firm stance. The way to fall down safely is to take the posture of sitting down aside. After falling down, you should move to the side of the slope because other skiers might come and crash into you.
