Answer 3

Don't worry about embarrassing yourself, everyone falls. Just listen to the instructor and have a good time.

Answer 4

Have someone with patients help you.

Skiing is done on the edges . The outside metal strip that runs along the sides of the ski are what helps you to turn, stop and control your ski. If you roll onto the edge, the edge will dig in into the snow, and the ski will turn that direction. If you lean to much you turn real fast and you will wipe out.

Snowplow is the best way to learn to control the ski. You form a V with the point of the V in front of you. By slightly leaning left, you turn left, by slightly leaning right you turn right.

Again go ski with a person that has experience.

YOU WILL FALL DOWN. do not be embarrassed. Every one falls learning to ski, everyone! I still fall like a lot after 20 years of skiing, I am just going way faster now when I fall. I have even knocked myself out one time when I was skiing at Vail! I was done for the day. Know when yo get tiered, that is when you take a break. Do not give up. My first day I almost gave up and never wanted to go skiing again. Of course my buddies started me out on the expert trails.

Stay on the bunny hill, have a friend help you. and don't get embarrassed when you fall.

Even just starting on the bunny slope, someone will see that you are a beginner and help you out if your friends won't.

HAVE FUN! Good Luck.

Answer 5

Here are some advices, from my own experiences:

1. Find the imaginary "Fall line". (If you drop a ball on the hill, the "fall line" is where the ball will go towards the downhills.)  You should ski through the fall line. If you would fall, you will fall on that fall line, too.)

2. Know how to stop: Wedge turn to a wedge stop. (Upside down "V" shape stop. Very important!).

3. Balancing: Knees bent; Two ski parallel 10-15 inches apart; Upper body lean slightly forward; Place both hands forward.

4. Apply your body weight and switch the weight between your left/right legs to make turns.

5. Learn to make parallel turns.

6. Learn to use the "edge" of skis, by applying your weight on different edges of the left/right skis.

7. Practice and more practice.

It's always good to start skiing from taking a lesson instructed by an eligible ski instructor.

Answer 6

A good tip is to get an instructor.

Answer 7

TAKE A LESSON (a one day is fine... but be sure to TAKE A LESSON...

if you do, then you WILL be skiing in less than a day...

if not, then your experience may not be a positive one and you will never want to do this again....  TAKE A LESSON

Answer 8

point the skiis Toward the Valley...

hold on tight...

you may want to notify "ski patrol" before you go down...

Or you can take the advice given above...

TAKE A LESSON

that would probably make sense
