I decided to continue my story about skiing. And if the last article was a call to stand on skiing, in this article I will tell you how to pick up equipment. I will tell you that business is troublesome and depends solely on the amount of money that you have, and their absence is compensated by the amount of time you spend on the search for cheaper goods. All of what I'm writing, I checked on my own experience because I got to skiing this year alone. Thank God that I was next to an experienced skier, who helps me a lot. Otherwise ....

It would have been much harder .  I must say that overall pick - is the simplest .  The main thing is that it was warm and you feel comfortable in it .  The most difficult - is to choose shoes .  It is better to measure the toe and the foot should not hang .  On this depends the safety of your feet from sprains and fractures .  Shins must be tightly clamped .  Feel yourself in them, you'll be very awkward at first, but as it should be .  Another thing, if you feel that your shoes too tight .  Then it makes sense to choose a different .  If money is not a problem for you, then I advise you to go to any sports shop ("Kant", for example) .  New shoes it will cost from $ 100 and up .  But you can find shoes cheaper if you go to sell (ski flea market - the subway "Tula" across the bridge about auto parts store on weekends) .  Personally, I picked up there a very decent shoes (crocodiles, they are advised for beginners) for $ 45 .  For some, it is too expensive, but the skiing - the sport is quite expensive . 

Next - the skiing (I was lucky, I got from my mother-skiing). Here it is necessary to take into account that the skis above (longer), the more difficult to manage. Therefore, the length of skis for beginners about 1m. 30cm. Mounts should choose the store (they should fit easily unfastened snap, but you, not themselves). Typically, there them and mounted on the ski. In fact, I would advise all the same to find among your friends or acquaintances, friends of their friends of people who are engaged in downhill skiing. And it will be easier, and he or she certainly will not refuse to help you.
