    Το κατάλληλο ύψος σκι για σκι πίστας για εσένα είναι 152-157 cm. Τα σκι που έχεις μια χαρά είναι σαν τύπος, αλλά σε λάθος ύψος. Ποτέ δεν θα σου είναι καλά, θα πρότεινα να τα πουλήσεις και να πάρεις αλλά σε αντικατάσταση αυτών.

    Three Injured After Lift Detached At Australian Ski Resort This is the third time in seven years that there’s been a similar lift incident at the ski area.

Download the app. An unexpected gust of wind forced a chair to detach from a lift at Thredbo Ski Resort in New South Wales, Australia on the afternoon of Aug.18, injuring three snowboarders. A “freak gust of wind” on the Kosciuszko Quad Express close to the top of the lift station caused one chair to fall several meters into the snow below, according to the Australian Broadcasting Company. The ABC also reported that wind gusts were measured at around 33 miles per hour at the top of the lift several minutes before the accident took place. Three riders in their 20s and 30s were hurt. They were taken in for medical care for both back and facial injuries, one requiring a helicopter lift. In an Instagram story, the resort stated that “Thredbo is committed to the safety of our guests and our people. The incident is being thoroughly investigated by Safework NSW and independent experts. The Kosciuszko quad express is Australia’s longest lift, and is 33 years old, theABC reported. Saturday’s incident is not the first for the resort. A chair snapped off of the line in 2019, causing a rider to fall approximately 30 feet. The cause was also a freak gust of wind. On that day, some gusts were clocked at up to 70 mph with an average of 50 mph, according to the resort. In 2016, a similar event occurred when an empty chairlift on the Gunbarrel Chairlift was also blown off by wind gusts.
