Weekends are constantly awaited and to have the most fun on weekends we all plan in advance. If you are thinking of going out this time for a ski weekend vacations? I must say an adventurous and exciting choice you have made! Aren’t you tired of spending your weekends at nightclubs? Try something new this time. Plan your weekend out with friends for a ski holiday and enjoy the fun!
But while you plan, certain points are to be kept in mind. They will help you in making your trip the most memorable and exciting one! Here in this post, I am listing few important things which you need to take care of while planning your outing.
For the success of any plan, it is necessary to make a checklist. This is important so that you don’t miss out on anything necessary which later spoils your trip. Inadequate equipment, poor planning and lack of knowledge can lead to problems like an injury. So have a foolproof plan and execute it in a perfect manner.
Steps you need to follow when considering a weekend ski holiday trip:
Research Properly
With the internet advancement, nothing is unknown these days. If you don’t know what all mental preparations you need, the equipment and other things to be carried along on the trip then read it on the internet. Ask people or friends who have been to the same kind of place and decide which one suits your situation the most. Check out on budget and get the bookings done. Be on the safer side.
Decide On Buying or Renting The Equipment
It is not necessary to spend a huge amount if you are going for one time. But if you are keen to do this again and again, then buy your own equipment kit. Just make sure that the quality of the kit is ensured.
Prepare a Checklist
Last minute checklist is very important. Especially if you had kids. Forgetting the things that you thought you will pack in the morning before you leave is the common mistake we all do. For example, try booking 5 star resorts in Manali before one or two months of your holidays. So make a list and check it once before you leave for the trip.
Prepare Your Mind
Make yourself fit physically and mentally by preparing yourself for skiing. It requires the cardiovascular, mental fitness along with a clear understanding of mountain climbing.
Be Aware of The Danger
It is not always that the snow you choose for your skiing is safe. Sometimes there is corn snow and this makes you descend difficultly. If your speed while descending is too fast, you will slip as the grip will not be maintained easily and if you are descending too slowly, the sun will melt the snow and again you will be facing the danger. So gather full knowledge of how to do proper skiing.
Get Training
I would suggest you all to take short training session before you plan your weekend for skiing. This will train you mentally as well as give you practical knowledge of what all to be done when skiing; after all being smart is the way one lives in today’s world. So be smart by getting some knowledge beforehand.
Safety Gear
Do not forget to have all the safety measures like a backpack, shovel, probe etc. packed for your skiing trip. These will be needed essentially when you are doing skiing. Wear them and then enjoy the moments without any danger.
Proper Clothing
This is an essential part of planning. You need to have a full coverage of clothes as there the weather will be chilly. Have goggles and gloves for sure in your bag before you leave for the trip.
So plan your trip and have fun while gliding down those snow-covered hills.
