Special boots are attached to the skis by means of bindings. Use of poles is personal choice; each pole has a wrists wrap on top, sharp tip on bottom and circular ring about from the tip to prevent it from sinking into snow. Depending upon varying snow conditions skis are waxed for maximum glide. Along with skis, boots and poles, you will also need to have ski helmet to protect your head, good pair of goggles for eyes and plenty of warm clothing.
