Cross-country ski equipment: snowboard, snow shoes, ski poles, clothing

First. Snowboard
Off-road technology is divided into traditional and freestyle, and this difference also exists in snowboarding. The difference between the traditional board and the free board is mainly in structure and length.
1. Free board: The bottom of the free board is very smooth, thus forming a large wax coating layer. The role of this surface layer is to glide. When choosing a freestyle off-road board, you should pay attention to the following points: The length of the snowboard should be 10 to 15 cm longer than its height, but at the same time, the hardness (tension) of the snowboard should be considered to suit its own weight. The ideal weight is generally marked on the snowboard.
2. Traditional board: The traditional board has a very obvious arc of arc (that is, there is a certain tension), and is divided into a climbing part and a sliding part. The length of the snowboard is height plus 30 cm. Similarly, the tension of the snowboard should be adapted to the weight. This can be measured by the following method: standing on the snowboard, measuring the gap between the bottom of the board and the ground, the specific measurement position is between the two marks from the heel to the snowboard. If the gap just passes a piece of paper, the tension of the snowboard is appropriate. If only one snowboard is used for testing (that is, the whole body weight falls on one board), the paper should not pass this gap.
Second, Snow shoes
1. The upper of freestyle ski shoes should be higher than the ankle bone to form a certain support. At the same time, the ankle joint can be freely moved to ensure that it can stand on the snowboard in the best posture at any time.
2. Traditional ski shoes: When sliding traditional techniques, people usually wear shoes with lower uppers. This ensures a certain amount of support and at the same time allows the ankle to have the maximum range of movement, thereby achieving the ideal skiing movement.
3. Multi-purpose ski shoes: If you don't want to be limited by the project to choose shoes, you can also choose a multi-purpose shoe. This shoe is suitable for both freestyle and traditional styles.
Third. Ski poles

There are many ski poles to choose from ski pole manufacturers, and the appropriate length should be selected according to different items.
The principle is:
Traditional style: height × 0.85
Freestyle: Height × 0.9
Fourth, clothing
Choose clothing must ensure that the body can move freely, not too tight. All clothing should have high elasticity, and should be windproof, waterproof, good, easy to maintain, and washable. When choosing gloves, you should pay attention to it. When you start wearing, you feel a little tighter and better. You must not choose creases to avoid blisters on your hands.
