World Mini Ski Day
Celebrated on 11 NovemberWorld Mini Ski Day is celebrated on November 11, a time when snow usually falls and winter sports can be celebrated.
It is celebrated mainly by outdoor enthusiasts who live in large cities. In the conditions of a modern metropolis, ordinary skis are not particularly relevant; they are used mainly by fans of ski resorts and experienced athletes. And for ordinary city dwellers, mini-skis are more suitable. They are more convenient to use and are the best option in cases where the choice of ski areas is limited.
Mini skis have a number of advantages over regular skis, such as: 1. Compactness. The products do not take up much space during storage and transportation; they can be brought to the riding area in a regular backpack.
2. Versatility. Suitable for both children and adults, i.e. optimal for family holidays.
3. High maneuverability. Mini-skis do not require specially equipped trails; you can ski them on almost any terrain. Even areas with difficult terrain are suitable.
Mini-skis were invented by an engineer from Kyiv, V. M. Efimov. The idea came to him during a winter walk with his little daughter. The scientist thought about developing an improved small-sized model of skis that would be suitable for all family members and could be used for descending small hills and hills. That is, we were talking about something that you can take with you on a regular walk in the park, and not to a ski resort. The invention was successful and soon began to enjoy great popularity. Made a significant contribution to the development of children's skiing.
Today mini-skis are available in any sports range. They compare favorably with classic models due to their price, and at the same time they allow you to develop a fairly high speed when riding. They are made in a variety of colors, mostly bright. Such products are intended for adults and children starting from three years old. Special adapted models have been developed for children. They look like toys, but are very stable and meet all safety standards.
The best way to celebrate World Mini Ski Day is, of course, in the fresh air. After all, they are intended specifically for active recreation. If the weather permits, you can ride them with your family or friends. It’s worth introducing children to skiing in this way, or even organizing a small competition. To do this, you don’t even have to go out of town, just visit the nearest park with a slide.
