Introduction of Activities

滑雪
Skiing is a group of sports using skis as equipment for traveling over snow. Skis are used in conjunction with boots that connect to the ski with use of a binding.
 
Skiing can be divided into cross-country skiing and alpine skiing. Cross-country skiing (or Nordic skiing) originated in Scandinavia and uses free-heel bindings that attach at the toes of the skier's boots but not at the heels and is a low-impact, aerobic activity that conditions the whole body. It is becoming increasingly popular. Although it is one of the most physically demanding activities, it can be enjoyed even if you have a relatively low skill level. It does not require exorbitant lift fees, and it has a relatively low injury rate (cross-country skiing has an injury rate about 10 times less than alpine skiing). Unlike alpine or downhill skiers who use gravity, cross-country skiers propel themselves about 80-90 per cent of the time, and use muscles in the arms, legs, and trunk in about equal measure. This muscle activity demands a great deal of energy. It has been estimated that cross-country skiing continuously for 150 minutes burns up more than 3000 Calories.
