Tips for Getting Started
- Sign up for lessons at your nearest ski resort. Learn to turn, stop and move on your skis.
- Don't be afraid to fall, and if you do fall, fall to the side.
- If you are about to crash into a tree or another person, don't swerve. Fall.
- Start on the bunny hill. A small slope with a rope tow is the best place to learn how to move around on your skis.
- Learn to distinguish trail difficulty. A green circle indicates a beginner trail.
- Practice, practice, practice.
