Ski equipment
If you are an avid skier, you can buy your own professional skiing equipment, but if you just skate occasionally on a whim, then renting equipment is the most appropriate (of course, Except for nouveau riche and those interested in buying equipment).
General ski resorts can rent professional equipment, including rental services in small towns on the road.
Ski costume
* it is best to wear waterproof, wind-proof professional ski suits, waterproof ski gloves (tight straps at your wrist) and wool caps. I really don`t. I think it`s all right to wear a down jacket. Socks should wear stockings thick socks, by the way, you can bring an extra pair of socks and shoes to prevent wet penetration. Oh, if there`s a helmet, it`s even better!
: direct solar radiation and reflection in the snow will be quite dazzling. Be sure to choose suitable sunscreen glasses or ski goggles!
* apply sunscreen in winter, too! Wear sunscreen in winter, too! Wear sunscreen in winter, too! And because the weather may be colder, drier, the skin is lost a lot in this climate, the direct sun and the relatively fast cold wind formed during skiing stimulate the skin, please wipe some more skin care products!?
* people who are afraid of cold suggest buying more warm-up stickers on their bodies, which can not only avoid excessive weight of clothes, but also effectively keep warm.
*Backpack! The bag can be filled with clothes, water, energy bars, lunch.
Antiskid chain
Friends who drive skiing must pay attention to the fact that when going up the mountain from July to August, every car needs to be equipped with a non-skid chain to get on the road. Chains can be rented at a location on the road (for example, Mt Buller can rent in a passing Mansfield town), and staff will teach you how to install chains based on your model.
What must be emphasized is: safety! You can check and buy insurance regulations in advance, and don`t cause unnecessary trouble because you can install X for a while.
Ski cost
The cost of skiing mainly includes fuel, tickets, rental of skiing equipment, cable car and so on. The estimated cost is 200 / 400 (excluding accommodation). Of course, it also depends on the specific circumstances. Everyone tries to book accommodation in advance during the skiing season. If you are a beginner, you can also sign up for a short ski course in the snow field.
* most snowfields will have all kinds of concessions for students. If you have a student ID card, don`t forget to bring it!
Other considerations
* Snow Mountain is generally far away. If you don`t plan to stay, you must make reasonable arrangements for your trip.
* before planning to travel, be sure to read the weather forecast and snowfall on Xueshan official website. The general skiing season is from June to August.
