Steps For Alpine Skiing For Beginners

2. As an avid skier, Donald Sonn understands how intimidating the
sport can be for novices, particularly those who want to learn
about alpine skiing but are unprepared for facing the various
courses available. He has created a list of steps that it is
important for beginners to take before they brave the slopes on
their own.
Get An Instructor
A skiing instructor is going to be vital if you are to learn all of the
techniques that you are going to need in order to tackle even
the most basic of alpine courses. Take the time to have a few
lessons with an experienced instructor, rather than having a
friend or relative teach you, and you will soon find that their
dedicated service helps you get the basics down in no time.

3. Learn How To Stop
One of the first things your instructor will teach you is how to
stop, which will prove vital during your first efforts on the
slopes. The most commonly used technique is often referred to
as the ‘pizza wedge’ and it involves bringing the front of the skis
together and spreading the backs apart. You need to have this
technique in your arsenal before you head out to the slopes.
Your Stance
Your stance will need to be centered and balanced at all time. If
you lean too much when you are skiing, you’re simply upping
the possibility of falling and potentially causing yourself an
injury. Be aware of the position of your legs and upper body at
all times when you start picking up speed.

4. Controlling Your Speed
This is a simple step, but on that many novices struggle with. In
order to speed up you need to keep your skis straight and
parallel to one another, creating a less resistant body shape in
the process. Slowing down simply means making use of the
‘pizza wedge’ technique that was mentioned earlier, though you
won’t be bringing yourself to a stop with it until you reach the
end of the slope.
Turning
Your legs should always turn before your upper body does. This
is a technique that is known as ‘stemming’ and it involves
rotating your skies on the slope with your legs, before adjusting
your upper body to face the same direction.

5. Practice
While you may have the basic techniques down in theory,
Donald Sonn notes that the only way to improve is to keep
practicing. Get out on the slopes and use what you have learned,
though make sure that you stick to beginner courses for the time
being.
