Skiing, My Passion

Ski Jump 

Skiing, weird to think about sliding on two planks of wood. Well thats how it all started.(https://www.skiinghistory.org/history/evolution-ski-shape)  Well compared to what we have with the fancy carbon fiber, and overly waxed bottoms. When I think skiing I think, fun with friends and the cold. skiing means fun, speed, memories, and wipeouts, of corse I don't do wipeouts (totally sarcastic.) One of my best memories while skiing is when I was going off a mildly small jump and i hit the little flag on the side, I WIPED OUT. Of corse My friends all saw it and still make fun of me for this. But you now get how the memories go while skiing, you will hold on to them for a long time. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to ski, I find it very fun and I get if you are scared. But there are such things as lessons. I know I am just getting at the same thing over and over again but I really want to emphasize that you should try skiing for memories, and for the overall fun of it. Ok but back to the skis, these matter. How many ski types do you think there are? 1, 2, 3, even 4? Well there are at least 9 (https://www.mountainheaven.co.uk/blog/an-introduction-to-different-types-of-skis/) 8 mentioned here but they have missed some such as telemark, or just general twin-tip skis (the standard rental skis.) Then you get into size and that is for a whole other blog. I will however get into the bindings, where is where you can get kinda weird not as weird as all of the skis though. You have telemark bindings which let you move your heel (not normal in skis) or rental bindings which are very heavy. When I call them the "rental bindings" that means the standard bindings in rental skis.
