Answer 3

don't fall down!and stay on ur feet

and try hard

Answer 4

Don't bomb the hills.  Go nice and slow, do the turns, and to slow down, make your skis like a snowplow.  Good luck, and have fun!

Answer 5

the most important thing to remember when skiing is to have fun!

here are some other good ones

getting really snug fitting boots is a good tip, and also dressing in layers.. preferably acrylic fibres and not cotton, as that gets cold and wet. (right now is pretty warm, so don't have too many layers on)

whenever you ski, try to apply the new things you have learned in a lesson to your skiing, and challenge yourself a bit.. on the other hand don't do a black diamond run on your first day.

once you learn to turn, try to do at least a couple of turns each time you go on a more difficult run.

keep a comfortable speed, and keep at it. remember, everyone falls.

at the end of the day, relax in the lodge or at home and have a cheeseburger/veggie burger and some hot chocolate.

Answer 6

Have a good night sleep, eat as much as you can for breakfast prefebly oatmeal plenty of slow releasing energy in that, get a good ski instructor, even though from the top of the run it looks difficult it is not as difficult, also try to stay on green runs for most of the day, good luck.

P.S During lunch eat a big bowl of chilli that should cushion the blow. JKS!

Answer 7

Fit your boots tight, take a series of lessons, practice the skills you are shown, have fun, make new friends and enjoy the old ones.

Answer 8

dont OVER dress!  dress in layers and if you can definitely take a lesson.
