ENGLISH VOCABULARY LESSONS: Ski & Snowboarding Equipment #1

hello and welcome to English like native

my name is Anna and today we're just

going to go through some very basic

vocabulary for when you are skiing or

snowboarding

so let's go through the equipment of

course you have a pair of skis one ski

two skis a pair of skis or you might

have a board a snowboard on both boards

and skis the places where you put your

feet and lock yourself in are called

bindings and of course you have to have

special boots for the bindings so you

have ski boots or snowboarding boots

then you're going to have to wear the

right clothing so on your bottom half

you wear salopettes i've got some nice

bright green salopettes and then you're

also going to need a ski jacket usually

waterproof lots of pockets and tight

around the wrists and around the middle

to stop snow going inside and you're

going to need a pair of gloves

you're also going to need a neck scarf

you might need a face mask to keep your

face warm

you're also going to need a pair of

goggles goggles and

a helmet to protect your head a helmet

some people don't wear a helmet they

just were a woolly hat to keep thier head

warm but a helmet is safer and then when

you get up onto the mountain

hopefully you'll have snow and hopefully

the snow won't be so hard that is turned

to ice and the places that are set out

for you to ski the roads for skiing are

called piste so you ski on pieced if you

decide to go off the road for skiing

then you're skiing off-piste so you're

going off-piste it can be dangerous

going off-piste if you don't know what

you're doing you have a mountain peak to

get to the top of the mountain you'll take

a chair lift which is a lift that you sit in

you pull the bar down in front of you

sometimes you'll get what's called a

bubble lift which is a lift that you get

inside of that protects you from the

elements and if you're unlucky you may

have to take the drag lift which is just

a rope that you hold onto you put

between your legs and it drags you up
