How Do You Make Turns When Skiing?
Skiing is a fun sport, but you need to have some skills to go on more challenging courses. Turning is vital in skiing, and learning how to turn can even save a life. • Get used to skiing by going slowly down the slopes. • At the top of a slope, go down at a comfortable pace. Pick where you feel comfortable to turn, and shift so that most of your body weight is on the inside edge of your down hill ski. Always keep your weight forward! You should lean forward so that you feel your weight pushing on the front part of your boot where your shins rest. • Make your skis as parallel as possible. This will give you more of a turn and will also give you a little more balance. Put most of your weight on the leg which will be on the outside when you make the turn. Lean down and you should feel yourself turning.
