"FACTS".
Recently extreme sports became rather popular. In the summer
Adventurouses submit water, underground and high-mountainous open spaces
Globe, being engaged in a scuba diving, surfing, mountaineering,
Speleology. In the winter mountain skiing becomes their joy.
Once to rise on mountain, it is necessary to leave with 3 - 5 dollars.
Inhabitants of winter resorts concern "mad" mountain skiers more than
Favourably. For example, on domestic mounting skiing resorts arrived
Tourists of the mistress meet directly at cars - look after the future
Lodgers.
Certainly, residing at Carpathians "on a hut" will not be compared to rest
Five-stars hotel somewhere in the Alpes. But also the prices here absolutely others -
About $3 a day (it is possible to lodge and in karpatskih hotels, but it
A little bit more expensively - $4 - 10). And the kindliness of local owners at times replaces
Complaisance of the Alpine porters and parlourmaids. Well who else will heat to you an oven in
Six mornings also will wake in seven muttering: "De tse vi hidili? CHim tse vi grjukali
All пҐiя ? Piti budesh? "." I will not be ", - you respond, tearing eyes and trying
To part forcibly the neighbour who has put on you the feet. Because more often
In a hut sleep on a floor vpovalku. And at this time careful owners already
Have boiled vodichku for tea and has removed from the furnace hardly the dried up overalls and
Gloves. At times to you starts to seem, that they have grown fond of you, as native. But
The unexpected requirement of an additional payment for "to be washed in a shower" (from 2
grn.) puts all on the places.
There is such saying: "the Mountain skier tests pleasure twice a day - in
First time when dresses boots, in the second when removes ". Also it is the truth,
Because mountain-skiing boots - such plastic (expensive enough, but
About it then) kolodki, clasping a foot to the middle of a shin, which
Skiers dress in the morning, and remove only after returning from mountain. All the day long
Their gait something reminds gait of the robot in the Hollywood film.
So, you have risen, have got into even wet overalls and not bending boots,
Have taken skis and have gone on mountain. Lifts in Carpathians marvellously
Are cheap. For comparison: the skier on the average spends for them about $3 - 5 in day, and
In the same notorious Alpes - $25 - 30.
You think, that people get on mountain then dashing to move down
From it? Be mistaken. People rise there... To drink and eat. Especially beginners.
Downwards they dare at a difficult way only after will drink two-three
Glass nagretogo with sugar of wine also will believe to the instructor who will inspire to them,
What is it not too terribly.
Skilled skiers too go downwards not at once, and only after
Will eat pair of portions of a shish kebab (5 - 7 grn.), will have a snack varenikami (2 - 3 grn.) and
Will drink 150 grammes to cognac (from 3 grn.). On road they usually fall,
Scattering thus the equipment on all slope. And when descends in the spring
Snow, local children go on mountain and collect "crop" from
The lost sticks, hours, skis, ear rings, purses and so on. Speak,
Very favourable business.
But the present fun begins in the evening, when full feelings
The executed debt, mountain skiers come back home ("on a hut" or in
The hotel room), is displayed by wet overalls on batteries and begin
To tie up to stick, grease scratches, grazes, bruises and stretchings.
In the evening those who else in a status to move, go to restaurant (a sauna,
On a disco, in a bar, in shop behind vodka, on a visit to friends, with which
Have met on a grief). And those who has already lost forces, lay down in a bed in
Next time swear, that have arrived here last time. What for so
To suffer for own money, yes besides the considerable.
On the average the week trip to Carpathians will manage (without purchase or
Equipment hire) in $100 - 150, to Slovakia - $250 - 400, to the Alpes -
$1000 - 1500.
In the European countries of mountain skiers it is accepted to classify on them
To sports possibilities, and at us - on financial.
Clearly one - to go for a drive from mountain without skis it is impossible. Therefore it is necessary
To buy or borrow equipment. In Europe managers of shops at it
Selection divide mountain skiers on their sports abilities and the experience
Drivings, at us - by financial possibilities. After all it is far not everyone can
To give for the skis which have attracted to it, boots and fastenings of $300 - 500. Therefore
Many prefer to buy the equipment which was in the use. It costs
More cheaply: boots - $25 - 50, skis with fastenings - $30 - 60.
Besides, from March till October in all specialised shops
Spend sale of collections of the previous season with discounts from 30 % to 50 %.
Therefore much manage to buy rather cheaply new equipment.
The second major element of mountain skiing - clothes. On apportions
"Second-hand" overalls stand from 30 to 70 griven, in sports shops
-- From 300 griven and above. It is possible to buy points (unpretentious,
Plastic, quickly breaking, ridiculous, bulky, Chinese for 15
griven or firm for $40), and a bandage on a head. However, mountain skiers
epatazhny. Therefore on a grief it is possible to meet the person in shutovskom a cap with
Jingles, in a cap with long fluttering tails, a cocked hat,
Kokoshnik and other extravagant headdresses.
Skiers like to experiment the hair. Namely: to paint them in
Bright colours - green, red, yellow, violet (from 50 griven and above),
To do on a head "hedgehog" and to paint its stains (from 200 griven). But
The most expensive pleasure are "African" plaits. Braid them nearby
8 - 9 hours and to pay for this pleasure it is necessary 800 - 900 grn. And
rasplesti plaits the hairdresser who will ask for the job in any way should
It is not less 120 grn.
There is one more important thing without which not to manage, having a rest in mountains, -
The first-aid set (the bandage, the warming ointment, anaesthetising, zelenka, iodine). A beginner
The skier for the third day starts to redress elastic bandage the
Knees to support fairly pulled muscles. And in case of the unsuccessful
Maneuver, probably, it is necessary to pay in local hospital for a X-ray and plaster.
However, on equipment it is possible and to save: skis and boots to hire
(On karpatskih resorts - $3 - 5 in day), overalls to borrow at acquaintances,
To do without points and a superhairdress. After all the person receives pleasure
First of all from mountains, the speed, a wind beating in the person and the stories about
Volume as where, that where has turned, has crackled, it was carried by, and here fur-trees.,
And how I only am live remained?!.
