5 Reasons Why We Love Skiing
Why skiing is the best
Whether it's a smooth carving turn on the slopes, a rapid deep snow descent in untouched powder or a multi-day tour with overnight stays in a hut deep in the Alps - skiing is much more than just a winter sport. It's a pure attitude to life! We'll tell you five good reasons why we're talking about look forward to every descent.
1. Skiing means flow and speed
Do you know this feeling? You are the first to make your turns on the virgin slopes, you give in to the speed and feel weightless? That is flow - a perfect interplay of body, movement and mind. According to a study by the University of Klagenfurt, skiing is one of the best sports for achieving this state. The key is the right speed: challenging but controllable.
The perfect flow starts with the right ski. Find out in just a few minutes which model is ideal for you – for even more skiing fun!
2. Skiing makes you happy
Is it the bright sun, the breathtaking mountain panorama or simply the exercise in the fresh winter air? Skiing releases happiness hormones - this has even been scientifically proven. Univ. Prof. Dr. Erich Müller from the University of Salzburg explains: "Most skiers are in a positive mood when skiing." In addition to the flow experience, the intense sunlight and the release of endorphins provide this unique happiness kick.
3. Skiing keeps you fit and healthy
A day on the slopes is more than just fun - it's a real workout! Skiing improves motor skills, regulates metabolism, lowers cholesterol levels and strengthens the cardiovascular system. It also promotes concentration, increases cognitive ability and has a positive effect on perception. According to a study by the Institute for Sports, Alpine Medicine and Health Tourism in Innsbruck, these positive effects can be felt after just one day!
4. Skiing strengthens community and self-confidence
Everyday life can wait – on the slopes, all that counts is the moment, nature and the people you share it with. Whether chatting on the chairlift, eating Kaiserschmarrn in the hut or après-ski: skiing brings people together. And those who constantly face new challenges not only grow beyond themselves on the slopes, but also gain a sense of achievement that also gives them self-confidence in everyday life.
5. Skiing is incredibly versatile
Whether tight slalom curves, freeride adventures in deep powder, cool tricks in the snow park or enjoyable ski tours through untouched nature - the possibilities are almost endless. No other sport offers so many variations and experiences. The decision is sometimes difficult - but one thing is certain: it never gets boring!
