There are differents type of ski beside alpine skiing. Alpine skiing is the basis. Then, if you like adventure, you can go off-piste, where no one has ever been !
But, you must be REALLY CAREFULL, it can be very dangerous. So you can't go there without knowing perfectly where you go. You can't go there alone or without telling any one. And before going off-piste, you nedd to check the avalanche risk (if it is more than 3/5 you must not go off piste).
Different type of skiing :
-
Alpine Ski : it is skiing on a sleep slope. It is the basis of skiing.
-
Freeride : it is, most of the time, going down off-piste, very high slopes. When it is possible, skiers enjoy skiing in powder snow.By going in snow powder, freeriders need very large board.
-
By doing this, skiers can play with the snow, and the relief.
-
Freestyle : it is a pratic which consists to do freestyles in the air and to catch your board and hold it during the time you're on the air. Freestyle skis allow you to do any fantasy !
-
Cross-Country Skiing : it is skiing on a flat track of land. So you must use your legs and your arm to be able to keep going.
-
And for those who do not ski, they can also go hiking.
