The Ski Guide

Description

The idea of taking some classes should not be thought of as
unnecessary. These classes will teach the individual how to keep safe,
while at the same time ensuring the individual learns the best
techniques needed for an enjoyable skiing experience.
• Learning how to stop is perhaps one of the more important
actions to master. Learning how to spread the skis in a pizza like
shape called the wedge will help the individual control the speed and
the direction when needed. Also, learning the knees and ankle
positions, should also be taken as another important contributing
element to keeping the well centered balance of the skier. Ideally, the
knees and ankles should be slightly bent and the weight should be
over the balls of the feet. Hopping about lightly while still being able
to maintain the balance will signify the correct stance. However, the
shins on the front of the boots should be pressing forward and staying
off the heels, and resisting the urge to lean back is also encouraged
when attempting to get into the correct skiing position.
