Generally speaking, Skiada is a place where at any time of the day or year you can come and start learning to ski or snowboard, regardless to snow or no snow. Those who already ski, even those who do it professionally, can maintain their skiing condition and improve their skiing technique at Skiada.

However, more important than this general purpose, which is ingenious in its functionality, are the subtle nuances of technical knowledge that you can acquire on Skiada, without feeling that you are doing something really serious.

Basically, you will learn properly, gradually, with experts and it will be a lot of fun.

How important is it who and how teaches you how to ski?

As people who live this sport, we will tell you that it is extremely important that you are taught skiing or snowboarding by experts.

Skeptics may compare skiing to swimming and say that many people swim, and most of them were taught by parents or relatives, none of whom are professional swimmers or swimming instructors. it is an undeniable fact, but after more than a decade of working with beginners in skiing, we must point out the elementary differences between these two sports.

First of all, babies know how to swim when they are born (it's an instinct we are born with), which is not the case with skiing. In skiing, this process is much more complicated. Secondly, with natural reflexes and the waters resistance it takes minimal physical fatigue and modest skills in order to be able to move in water. Thirdly, the likelihood of seriously injuring yourself while swimming is almost non-existent. Skiing, on the other hand, carries significant risks in this sense.

After all, hardly any swimmer actively swims all day during the day at sea, while almost every skier spends every day on skis on the mountain.

Learning with professionals means guarding your health

We pronounce this sentence with full right, given to us by our many years of experience not only in skiing but also in teaching others this skill. In addition, this view is confirmed by numerous scientific studies.

Namely, in addition to the above features that make this sport different from swimming, for example, it is of great importance, not only for your enjoyment of skiing, but also for the preservation of your health, that you adopt skiing techniques in the right way. Otherwise, you risk the following:

• Uneven or unnecessarily high pressure on certain parts of the body (primarily on the knees, quadriceps and trunk muscles),
• excessive pressure on the cardiovascular system (the body will compensate for inadequate techniques and poor biomechanics by straining the heart and lungs), and
• injuries (poor skiing techniques greatly increase the risk of falling, and therefore of injuries).

We especially note the fact that it is much more difficult to correct mistakes in ski technique than to learn to ski properly. The reason is the way humans as a beings acquire motor skills, Namely, if we perform a certain movement long enough and often (in this case also if in a wrong way), our brain will create strong synaptic connections that serve as guideposts for the given action.

Those connections are very hard to break.

That's why it's in your best interest as a beginner skier to leave it to the experts and thus save both time and health.

And where in this is the fun?
