Question

I need tips for boxes on skis?

Answer 1

not much to say boxes are easy!

my only advice is to just go for it and don't just ride over it you look even stupider then you would if you fell trying something at least

go off the small jump and turn to 90 put your legs at shoulder with and just slide accross it don't try to stop on it just slide it

its really not that bad

Answer 2

the biggest thing is self confidence.  you need to know you can do it before you try.  just come at the box straight on.  at the front of the box, do a small jump and turn 90 degrees so you slide the box sideways.  Stay balanced and low.  Keep your skiboots over the center of the box and your feet about shoulder width apart.  when you reach the end of the box jump off it and turn 90 degrees so you ride off straight forward or back.  do it once and know you can do it again.

Answer 3

Always look at the end of the box once you're on it. It will make you slide the whole way (if it's a short box, you don't even have to do this although you should). Keep your knees slightly bent and your body more or less relaxed.

Put your fears aside and just do tons of boxes. Practice makes perfect!

Answer 4

When I was first starting out in the park, I was dead scared of rails and boxes. Then my buddy showed be how easy it was. Basically, you just ski right over it. It is really that easy.

Hope this helps.
