The effect of different snow qualities on skiing

No one didn't know when it came to snow, but who really understood the snow? Because of the different weather conditions during snowfall and after snowfall, snow quality can take on various forms.

Some people have statistics that snow in nature has powder snow, flake snow, rain and snow, brittle snow, shell snow, pulpy snow, granular, muddy snow, ice-like snow; artificial snow There are more than 60 types of powdered snow, snowy snow, etc. Each ski under the snow will make the skier feel different, and of course the ski skills used for each snow are different. In China, most ski resorts are built inland and are not affected by the oceanic monsoon. The air is dry, cold and windy. The form of snow is mostly powder snow, shell snow, ice snow, and slurry snow. Snow in domestic ski resorts is mainly snowy snow formed by mixing the above snow.

In the early morning, the snow presents an ice-like snow pattern with a thin layer of hard ice on the surface. The friction between the surface of this snow and the snowboard is very small. The snowboard does not need to be waxed, and the gliding speed is very fast. The edge of the snowboard is needed. Quite enough, skiers must have a certain gliding technique. After ten o'clock, the surface of the snow slowly basks, in the form of a powdery snow, and this snow feels best to the skier. Not soft, not hard, smooth and comfortable. In the afternoon, under the illumination of the sun and the continuous turning of the snowboard, the snow was in the form of slurry snow, and the snow was sticky and frictional. It was easier for beginners to glide on the snow; the technique was good. Skiers can wax on the underside of skis to reduce gliding resistance. After a new snowfall, if it is not stirred and compacted by a snow machine, a hard shell will form on the surface of the snow in a few days. Sliding on this kind of snow requires the skater to have a large forward momentum to break through the snow. This kind of snow is generally on the higher and steeper ski tracks that can not be reached by snow roads. Therefore, the skiers are required to have a higher level of technology. However, in this kind of high and steep need for a large momentum on the snow before the slide, once you master the skills of driving it, watching a piece of broken snow shell flying in the air, is really enjoyable.
