As soon as Coach Zhao said this, Wei Xiaofeng and the other seven couldn't help but secretly scream strangely.

Coach Zhao seemed to see the question they wanted to ask, and explained: "I know that everyone must find it strange that learning to ski is just to prevent themselves from falling on the slopes, so why should I teach everyone how to fall?" In fact, learning to ski, just like learning to ride a bicycle, the most important thing is to be able to learn to master the center of gravity and balance of the body, once you learn it, it will become an instinct of the body, and you can't forget it later. But until then, falls are essential. The so-called failure is the mother of success, and you can learn lessons from falling again and again, so that you can master the skills of skiing faster. Since falls are inevitable, how to fall to avoid injury to the greatest extent is what I'm going to teach you next.

"First of all, when you feel like your body is losing its center of gravity and is about to fall, remember not to try to control your body. Instead, you should keep your chin close to your chest to prevent a blow to the back of your head. Then quickly sink your buttocks down and land on your buttocks. Of course, you should not sit down with your legs apart as you would normally sit down, but sit with your legs together on your side. While Coach Zhao was speaking, Coach Tian was teaching on the side, and slowly sat down on the snow with his legs sideways.

"One more thing to remember." Coach Zhao raised his right index finger between his eyes, then stretched forward and said, "Your face must be facing the downhill slope, and you should slide down with your back or buttocks against the snow." Be sure to keep your body from rolling on the snow to prevent your head from being hit by a hard object buried in the snow and injuring you. If you really can't control your body, then the ski poles in your hands can come into play. You can use your poles at an angle of 30 degrees to control the direction of your body and slow down. ”

Next, Coach Zhao motioned for them to repeat the practice several times according to the falling posture demonstrated by Coach Tian just now.

"This way of falling must be remembered. Don't think you can't wrestle once you learn to ski. When skiing fast on the slopes, there is no guarantee that there will be no surprises, such as foreign objects buried in the snow, sudden changes in the density of the snow, bumps with other skiers, sudden strong winds, or sudden loosening of skis can cause the skier to lose their center of gravity, so keeping in mind the correct wrestling style can help you avoid injury. So don't underestimate this action. ”

After hearing these words, Wei Xiaofeng and the others paid attention to this wrestling skill, and redoubled their efforts in practice. They have also seen on TV that in ski competitions, there are occasional scenes of competitors falling on the slopes. Even professional players are inevitably going to fall, let alone newcomers.

When the two coaches told them that this was the end of the morning's practice and that they could go to lunch together, they noticed that the sun had risen to its highest point in the sky. They took off their skis one after another and put them in their bags along with their poles.

At this time, Wu Yun also came to the practice range with a bag of skis on his back.

"How? What did you learn in the morning? Wu Yun walked up to Wei Xiaofeng, helped her straighten out her somewhat messy bangs, and asked.

Wei Xiaofeng replied: "I learned the basic postures of snow walking and skiing, and how to fall so as not to get injured." ”

"It's all easy, you've got it all, right?"

Everyone said yes.

Coach Zhao clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, Mr. Feng has already prepared lunch for us, at the staff canteen, will you follow us?" ”

"Okay." The group of eight people all felt hungry in their stomachs, and happily agreed.

"What about skis? It's inconvenient to carry such a heavy back. Zhang Yueyue asked. The skis about the same length as her height pressed against her thin body, and she felt a little tired, not to mention that she was a little tired after a morning of practice.

Coach Zhao pointed to a small room next to the driving range and said, "Everything is in that small room, right?" I'll lock the door later. ”

After putting away the skis, the group followed the two instructors towards the rest area.

Wei Xiaofeng looked at Wu Yun's slightly reddened cheeks and asked, "What about you?" How many trips did you make in the morning? What's the condition of the slopes here? ”

Wu Yun nodded and replied, "I mainly skied two ski trails in the morning, one green and one blue. ”

"What are green and blue lanes?" What Zhang Yueyue asked was also what everyone else wanted to know.

"It's a way to divide the difficulty of the slopes, mainly according to the slope of the slopes. Each trail is marked with a different colour to indicate a different level. There are three main colors of ski slopes in China: the first is the green slope, which is commonly known as the beginner slope, with a slope between 6 degrees and 25 degrees, and the slope is wide, all of which are pressed by snow groomers; The second is the blue run, which has a slope between 25 and 40 degrees, and is an intermediate course, usually a machine groomed course; The third type is the black course, also known as the diamond course, which has a slope of more than 40 degrees, is steeper, and the width is narrower than the first two courses, and some of them are machine-groomed. In addition, there are unmarked wild ski slopes, but the terrain of wild ski slopes is complex, and it is rare to see them in domestic ski resorts. There is also a red lane abroad, which is between the blue and black lanes. There is also a double black course, which is more difficult than the black course, but I have never tried it. ”

After listening to this, everyone nodded again and again, with a teachable look on their faces.

Wu Yun continued: "I skied the green track once in the morning and the blue track three times, and it felt very good. The slopes, lengths, and hardness of the slopes are suitable, and I haven't skied for more than three years, so this time it's a lot of fun. In the afternoon, I'm going to go skiing, and I've done it twice in my four years of college. ”

"It's so good......," Chen Xueqi said with envy, "We feel so bored in the morning, and we really want to go on the real slope as soon as possible." ”

"That's not a hurry." Wu Yun persuaded, "Skiing has to start with basic movements and take it slowly step by step. If you don't know the basics, you won't be able to slide a few meters on the slopes and you'll fall. Once you lose your interest in skiing because of wrestling, you may not be able to learn it in your life. ”

"Is it that serious?" Chen Xueqi stuck out her tongue.

"Just as a person who has drowned is too scared to go into the water, if you always fall on the slopes, you will become afraid of going to the slopes."

"It's just a psychological barrier." Liu Yi explained.

"That's right." Wu Yun nodded and continued, "If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, so you must not blindly seek speed and ignore the basics. I've inquired, these two coaches used to be professional skiers, so as long as you do what they teach, you will definitely be able to learn to ski by today, and then you will be able to hit the slopes tomorrow. Anyway, we still have more than two days to stay, and it's not too bad for half a day. ”

Chen Xueqi pouted and said "yes".

The staff canteen is located in the staff office behind the rest area, and in addition to a spacious small hall, there are several private rooms. The two coaches led Wei Xiaofeng and other eight people into the largest box, and saw Feng Junxiang, the owner of the ski resort, and the beautiful hostess at the opening ceremony in the morning sitting inside, talking and laughing.

Seeing them come in, Feng Junxiang warmly beckoned them to sit down, and then walked to the door and shouted outside: "The guests have arrived, you can bring the dishes up!" ”

The table in the box was very large, and it didn't look cramped when there were twelve people seated. After Feng Junxiang sat back in the main seat, he made a gesture to the hostess with a smile, and said to Wei Xiaofeng and the others: "You have already met this beautiful young lady at the opening ceremony in the morning, but I still want to introduce it to you, right?" Yu Jin, a popular host of Tonghua TV. ”

"Hello everyone." Yu Jin nodded to them gracefully, his eyes generously scanned everyone's faces, and stayed on Liu Yi's face for a while intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone responded politely.

Feng Junxiang continued: "I deliberately found the producer of her column two months in advance and invited her over. We hold such a grand event, the host must be professional and tough enough to be able to calm the audience. I can't find a second candidate in the whole Tonghua except for her. ”

"Mr. Feng is polite." Yu Jin responded generously, "In the future, I have to trouble you to take more care of our column." ”

Wu Yun opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what kind of program Miss Yu hosts?" ”

"In terms of consumption and people's livelihood, it is about introducing the eating, drinking and entertainment of Tonghua City and other surrounding counties and cities." Feng Junxiang hurriedly replied for Yu Jin. It can be seen that he still has a little bit of a thief heart for the young and beautiful hostess sitting next to him.

Yu Jin replied: "I heard Mr. Feng say that Mr. Wu is a reporter from a magazine, right?" ”

Wu Yun nodded. "Yes, we're half the same company."

"And what do your girlfriends and other friends do?"

"They're all college students."

An imperceptible hint of surprise flashed in Yu Jin's eyes, and then he didn't ask anymore.

The meals should have been prepared in advance, so they came up quickly. In a few moments, a huge round table was filled.

"Mr. Wu, do you want to have some wine?" Feng Junxiang asked.

Wu Yun waved his hand and politely refused: "Mr. Feng, I still have to go skiing in the afternoon, forget it?" ”

Feng Junxiang was not reluctant, and said, "Okay, I'll drink it that night." Then he asked Yu Jin, Zhao and Tian, the two coaches, and they all refused on the grounds that they still had work in the afternoon. Feng Junxiang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face, and poured a drink with the others.

After eating this lunch, which was not long or short, Feng Junxiang and Yu Jin went down the mountain. After a short rest and digestion for an hour, everyone returned to the practice range. After taking out the skis, Wu Yun left on the slope, and the others followed the instructor and began to continue learning.

After reviewing some of the movements taught in the morning, the two instructors led them onto the small snow bags, and it was time to start learning to ski in the field.
