Answer 2

Skiing is always fun :)

It's amazing.

Skiis aren't heavy, they're manageable, you should be fine =)

& even the bunny hill can be fun when you're first starting skiing. You'll do fine, and catch on quick. Who knows you might even want to try the big hills =)

They should teach you everything once you're there, and show you exactly what to do.

But whatever you do, don't go down straight! It always ends up bad ahah. =)

Yes, skiing is fun & you'll love it. I've been an expert skier for over 35 yrs. & I've skied all over Colorado & other areas.

The skis aren't that heavy so don't worry about that. I've seen plenty of children carry their own skis without any problem.

The bunny hill is a good place to start. I started on a bunny hill & I was off that hill after a few runs.

Make sure you tell them when you rent your skis that you're a beginner & that you want shorter than normal skis. They should barely come up to you chin. Shorter skis are much easier to learn on & you'll learn to turn & stop faster. You must learn to turn right away or you'll ski out of control & don't be afraid to fall. Falling is part of the learning process & most skiers fall more when they first try something more advanced.

Learn to snow plow right away. This is a ski technique for beginners. This is done when your ski tips are much closer together than the backs of your skis. Also, you have to place your body weight on the inside edges of each ski. It's not hard to learn & this will help you stop anytime you want.

This technique helps you learn to turn very easily. You must to learn to ski down the hill & make left & right turns all the time. This is done by placing almost all your weight on one ski, depending on whether it's a left or right turn. When you want to make a left turn, simply put your weight on the opposite ski {the right ski & this will cause you to turn to the left}. You just do the opposite to make a right turn.

When you want to stop you put equal weight on both skis but you must keep your tips close together {almost touching} & applying your weight this way will help you slow down.

If you're still having trouble, then sign up for a group lesson. Group lessons are much cheaper than individual ones & you can learn by watching other beginners & you can even meet some other skiers. HAVE FUN!!!
