Tips from our ski instructor Norbert

It's worth to do some training before your winterholiday starts. So you avoid sore muscles and you can enjoy every day more!
The right equipment is very important - for beginners as well as for advanced skiers
Skis and boards which are prepared properly mean more fun on the slope! See your winter sports expert!
After a longer use you need to control the adjustment of your binding - safety is only guaranteed by a check once a year.
Rent your skis! You always get the newest, best prepared skis! If you want to have something by your own: Get yourself some boots, which fit properly!
Take enough time for buying ski-boots!
When the winter-season starts, some little mistakes creep in one's technique style - do 1 - 2 private lessons in your skischool and you ski better than before!
Don't ski only when the sun is shining! Skiing and Boarding in a snow flurry, in fog or slushy snow are good for balance and the right feeling for the snow.
Use sun protectors! Through the reflection of the snow, the solar radiation is much stronger - even when it's foggy and cloudy!
Helmets are in! Especially for kid's, helmets guarentee additional security. By the way: you can also rent helmets!
