The joy of skiing also lies in the thrill of extreme speed. Passionate people are chasing after each other on the slopes, constantly accelerating with ski poles. Whether it is for personal fun or participating in ski competitions, using ski poles to speed up is always an important training. If you are a novice, try to avoid speeding up. It is better to practice smooth sliding first. Too fast speed is easy to fall.
