In order that winter sports remain a pleasure, you must keep in mind severa safety rules and know how to equip yourself. Here's a little summary of the good practices to ski with in peace and quiet!
Protect yourself thanks to a ski helmet
The ski helmet is too often considered as uncomfortable and unslghtly, but it can certainly save your life or avoid serious injuries! While we generally think about renting or buying a ski helmet for kids, this accessory is also vital for adults, whether it be off-piste, in snowparks or on the slopes of Avoriaz.
In our Sport 2000 shop, we offer cheap ski helmets for lease, for only 15 € a week for adults when it is included in a rental pack, and 12 € for children.
Choose the right equipments to be protected against the cold and the sun
When planning a trip to the mountains, we mainly think about warm clothes, but less about what is useful to face the dangers of the sun. Yet, great sunglasses or a ski mask will bring you more comfort and will protect your eyes. Likewise, sunscreen is essential when skiing down on a sunny ski area, and even when the sky seems cloudy.
To feel good all day long on the ski slopes, you should also think about ski gloves or mittens, a beany, a jacket, ski trousers, socks that will keep your feet warm, etc. Come and meet us in store, at the centre of Avoriaz ski resort, to find the equipement you need and to get wise advice from the team of Le 720 Snowshop.
The adjustment of your skis: something you must not neglect
Before putting on your skis, it's essential to make sure that the bindings are properly adjusted. Indeed, this is what will help you hold your feet, but it will mainly protect in case of fall, allowing the boot and the ski to come apart. By choosing ski rental in Le 720 in Avoriaz, our experts will adjust the skis before you go to the slopes, taking your ski boot, your weight and your ski level into consideration.
This way, you will be able to go skiing safely and to enjoy your holidays in Avoriaz and on Les Portes du Soleil skiing area!
