Hello, everyone, I’m Keke. In the winter, skiing continued to heat up after the ski resorts in many places across the country "opened". However, there is a sad news that a female tourist from China fell while skiing in a Japanese ski resort, and she was suffocated by inhaling powder snow. So, what is powder snow? What should I pay attention to when skiing powder snow?
Powdered snow is generally a kind of natural snowfall with relatively large snowfall, which is a kind of special snow like powder when the air temperature and humidity are relatively low. This kind of snow is characterized by low density and very soft, which will sink immediately when stepped on.
There are two situations, inside and outside the lane, such as heavy snow the night before, and there will be a thick layer of snow on the trail the next day. This kind of powder snow is very safe and suitable for beginners to practice powder snow skiing. But if it is wild snow outside the snowy road, the danger will be high.
Koko reminded
If you want to ski powdery snow safely, you must first go through professional training, understand powdery snow and avalanche knowledge, and configure professional equipment, such as skis suitable for skiing powdery snow, backpacks with airbags, snow shovels, and probes for measuring snow depth.
Secondly, don’t skate alone, it’s best to be accompanied.
Finally, in an unfamiliar venue, hire a professional local guide.
