It is said that the hot summer can be about to be true love, so the cold winter can also be about the outdoor must be a life and death.
However, there is such an outdoor sport, which is born to belong to winter, that is, skiing.
Someone said, "In winter, all outdoor pastimes make people sick, and only skiing enjoys the privilege of living in symbiosis with winter."
So even if some experts predict that this year is the coldest winter in the past 60 years, skiing is worse than in previous years, especially due to the epidemic, ski enthusiasts can not go abroad, which has also led to the extreme popularity of domestic ski resorts.
But don't look at the number of people, want to ski is not a low threshold thing, after all, it is not only "high risk", "high cost" or a "high-tech" sport.
Although everyone is now familiar with the sport of skiing, its origin should still be a mysterious veil in the hearts of many friends.
In fact, skiing is a prehistoric activity, and the invention of snowboarding predates any form of wheel.
When the Krumanu first tied a wooden plank to their feet with a belt, it was not at all to seek the thrill of gliding down the snowy mountain, but to prevent their feet from falling into the snow, which was a way of survival.
In 1206, a civil war broke out in Norway, and the two warriors used skiing to successfully escort the two-year-old Prince Håkon Håkonsson.
In the process of moving skiing from the primitive stage to modern times, Scandinavia is the true origin of modern skiing.
In addition to competitive skiing, recreational skiing as a popular sport for the whole people can be tried by almost all healthy people.
Abroad, skiing was once known as the "Four Noble Sports" along with golf, equestrian and tennis.
From the need to survive to the fashionable pursuit, skiing is also becoming more and more popular in the upper circle. In addition to islands, grasslands and mountain castles, their favorite sport in winter is skiing.
From the Queen of England to The Princess to the William Kate family, every winter, they would drag their families with their mouths and go out to the ski resort to enjoy it.
Just like running a marathon, I don't know when, the circle of friends has a lot of ski resort positioning all year round, and even island surfing has been lined up behind the ski.
Even on the Internet, everyone has summed up a chain of skiing contempt, and some people joked: "Don't play skiing, don't deserve the middle class."
As mentioned earlier, skiing is an aristocratic sport, and it is not only because the royal family and nobles like it, because there is not enough money to support this expensive "hobby".
In fact, the expensive of this sport does not lie in the sport itself, but in everything related to sports, such as 18,000 pieces of ski equipment, which has unconsciously become a show for the rich to show off.
To ski, you definitely need a good snowboard, skis are generally divided into alpine boards, cross-country biathlon boards, jumpboards, freestyle boards, snowboards, etc., as well as wood, fiberglass and metal.
In addition to skis, a set of waterproof and windproof ski clothes is also essential, like the down jacket we usually wear every day is certainly not replaceable.
A good pair of ski boots can improve the ski happiness index. It is necessary to ensure that the sides of the ankle cannot be loosened, and it is also necessary to make the back of the shoe strong and ensure that the calf can be flexibly bent forward.
Finally, skiing is a risky sport and protective gear is certainly essential. Like gloves, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist pads, helmets, armor, face pads, goggles, hip pads and so on.
This is "once you enter the ski pit, your wallet is a passerby" from then on."
Perhaps "white opium" is too fascinating, so many luxury brands have also seen this business opportunity and have launched skiing series.
However, this also meets the needs of many ski enthusiasts, both in terms of performance and fashion are more impressive than traditional ski equipment.
Dior X Descente Ski Series
Dior launched its first men's ski collection this year, following the ski boom, in a creative dialogue with Japanese professional ski brand Decent.

How can LV, which has recently increased its price, miss the cooperation with the ski world, in fact, as early as a decade ago, they opened their first store in the ski paradise Switzerland and created a series of winter vacation stores.

LV's Fall/Winter 2020/21 collection released this year is even more eye-catching, with futurism and sci-fiism as the themes of this season.
