I'm a beginner, help me choose skis

For beginners, we recommend renting : - Wide, short skis: These skis offer greater stability and are easier to maneuver. - All-mountain skis: Suitable for various types of slopes, these allow beginners to explore different snow conditions without difficulty. - Complete pack: Opt for a pack that includes skis, boots and poles for greater comfort and a seamless experience.

Can you explain the different types of tracks?

Ski runs are generally divided into several categories: - Green runs: Ideal for beginners, they are wide and gently sloping. - Blue runs: Suitable for intermediate skiers, offering a little more challenge with moderate slopes. - Red runs: For experienced skiers, with steeper slopes and tighter turns. - Black runs: Reserved for advanced skiers, these are the most difficult runs, with steep slopes and varied terrain.
