Basic Essentials

Step 1: Walking

The initial action of putting on the skis is walking. The action is no different from normal walking, may not be accustomed to the beginning, you can first put on a ski back and forth to walk down two times, and then two together, step by step to adapt to the balance.

Step 2: Falls

The safest way to fall is to land on your side, i.e., the outside of your big foot, the side of your lower back, and lift your poles and straighten your feet to prevent unnecessary injuries.

Step 3: Direction Change

Take the front or tail end of the skis as the center of the circle, separate the skis on the inner side of the direction you want to change into a V-shape towards the direction you want to change, and then bring the outer skis closer together. This direction change is only suitable for flat snow surfaces, not on slopes.

Step 4: Ascend

The easiest way is to take the gondola up the mountain. However, Taiwan's ski resorts usually don't have good cable cars, so the most convenient thing to do at this point is to take off your skis and walk up the mountain with them on your shoulders, or if you're a bit lazier, you can walk up the mountain in your skis, the key is to hold your skis and the slopes at 90 degrees to prevent your skis from automatically sliding down the slopes.

Step 5: flat skating

Stand with your feet parallel to each other, and use your wrist to push the two poles backward, so that your body and the two skis slide forward at the same time. The center of gravity of the body must not be placed behind, otherwise there will be a backward tilt of the body, which can lead to a recoil fall.
