Quick Start
-Weight evenly balanced.Front of skiis together,knees and ankles bent and lean forward a little.
How to slow down
-Try turning the ski’s inward
Note:Don’t overlap the ski’s because you’ll come to a sudden stop and fall.
How to turn
-Lean a little to the left or right allowing more weight on one ski.
A Clear Path
-Scan a little ways ahead of you for a clear path.
Note: Don’t look down…look ahead.
Falling
-If you fall after gathering some speed try then to roll with the fall instead of trying to stop. Try to relax your body and go into a rolling action. Don’t try and stop with your poles . If you feel your’re going to fall ,remember to bring the tips of the skis together. This will slow you down and bring you to a stop.
And Now..Trying To get Up
This might look great on America’s Funniest Video’s Tv Show ….but….
-Ok , you might try sitting to one side of the skis. Place both poles on the same side as your body, into the ground and next to your stomach. Grip the pole firmly with one hand at the top of the poles and the other hand closer to the bottom of the poles. Now push down on the poles and with a quick thrust lift yourself back up onto your skis’
