How often will a beginer fall down when skiing?

Question

on average per day?

once, 10 times, a 100 times?

Answer 1

Get lessons and you will fall much less often, and enjoy yourself much much more.

Athletic people with good balance will fall less, even if they are a beginner.

Answer 2

I have been skiing since before I could walk and I don't consider it a good day of skiing unless I fall down at least once.  "your not learning unless your falling," my dad used to say to me.  

Have fun, and make sure there is a hot tub available to you after your first day of skiing!

Answer 3

my mum always said you dont fall if you arent pushing your self. so, how hard are you going to go?

Answer 4

a lot!!!!  but once u get the hang of it, its priceless!!

Enjoy :)

Answer 5

Depends if there's many snowboarders about

Answer 6

a lot

Answer 7

skiing is easy, so i wouldn't call anyone a beginner after their first day, they will probably fall down less that 5 times and all of those times will happen within the first hour... after that any falls that they incur will be due to moments of irrationality and stupidity

Answer 8

It really depends on your balance, determination, and skis. If you have good balance, I would guess about 2 to 3 times and hour. If you're in a bad mood, you fall down. Period. Bad experiences that way...and if you have crappy skis with all three of those, you might as well put yourself in a padded suit.

Answer 9

to be good u must fall many times

probably 10 per day

Answer 10

One more than the number of times they stand up...

Answer 11

depends on how fast and well you learn to keep your balance while wearing skis.

Answer 12

Your first day of skiing?  Think of it this way...every time you stand up, you are going to fall down again real soon.  Its part of skiing, and can be fun if you learn how to do it right.  There is nothing better than watching one of your friends tumble into a big yard sale.  After they fall, its fun to go down and throw some snow on them with a good, hard parrallel stop.  Only do this to your friends, not to people you dont know.  You will recieve a ski pole up your kiester if you do it to the wrong person.

Answer 13

quite a few times depending on natural ability

also remember that even experienced people will fall
