Skiing Tips By Dr. Donald Sonn

2. An experienced and professional medical doctor,
Donald Sonn loves to take vacations in the
snowy hills of the Rockies and brush up on his
skiing skills.
Donald says that when you are just starting out as
a skier, odds are everything about the activity
feels weird. The clothes are probably a bit too
fluffy and walking on blades on your feet is not the
most natural feeling.
However, the more you get used to the blades,
the easier it becomes. Part of becoming a great
skier is putting in the time and work to actually
better.

3. Skiing Tips
Balancing act - As mentioned, walking (or
moving) around with skis on your feet is
uncomfortable the first time. The boots make it
feel like someone is pushing you from the back,
while the front of the blades do the opposite.
Finding balance requires that you first get used to
standing before pushing off. At all times though,
aim to keep your weight firmly under you.

4. Where should I look? - If it’s any consolation,
anyone who has ever tried skiing most probably
focused their gaze on the snow beneath them.
Now that you know you are not alone, you want to
fixate your gaze on objects ahead, rather than
looking at your feet as you move. Constantly
remind yourself to look up and ahead as it works
your posture and helps you avoid hitting
obstacles.

5. Falling is normal - Expect to fall the first few
times you try to ski. Your movements will be weird
and forced at times, leading to numerous falls.
However, enjoy the falls and even make a fun
activity out of it. Just be cautious about where you
land. You don’t want to hit a hard rock.
