Skiing is my all time favorite activity to do in the winter. I love to go up north and spend the weekend skiing with friends and family. When I was 3 years old, my parents taught me how to ski. I don't remember much from that time, but I do remember as I got older, it got easier.
Learning how to ski is much more simple than people think. The hardest part is trying to not lose control when going down the hill. The easiest way to prevent this is to make the front ends of the skis touch and make a 'pizza' shape. This was the first skill I learned when I started skiing.
Once a person has control of their skis, they need to gain control of the hill. To do this, they can go back and forth across the ski hill in an 'S' shape. Doing so will slow them down and help them gain control their movements.
Eventually, they can move onto their ski form. No one wants to look like a beginner forever! When they realize that they can control themselves while skiing, they can start to ski with their skis closer and closer together eventually so that they are parallel with each other. Using this form makes a skier look professional and like an expert.
Learning all these techniques can take time but practice makes perfect so never stop trying. It took me a few years but now it is the most enjoyable part of my winter.
