How do beginners learn to ski?

The tutorial for beginners to learn skiing is as follows:

Choose the equipment that suits you. Be sure to choose the right equipment, ski suit, ski boots, ski helmet, snowboard and ski pole. This suitability refers to whether it is suitable for your body shape, whether it is comfortable, whether it is flexible and controllable, and whether its functions can be met.

Get used to snowboarding first. After boarding the snowboard, first put your hand through the wearing belt of the pole, then hold the wearing belt in your hand, insert the stick into the snow on both sides of your body with both hands to help balance, and at the same time move your feet back and forth on the snowboard to adapt to snowboarding.

Practice sliding in a straight line. The first action a beginner should practice is to slide straight down and practice it back and forth several times to eliminate fear and get familiar with snowboarding.

Use the figure-eight slide and look straight ahead. When skiing, Xiaobai holds the pole with both hands and lifts it forward, with his elbows slightly bent and his knees slightly bent. Naturally, his eyes looked straight into the distance, not at the tip of the snowboard. Use the figure-eight slide method. Go in a little when accelerating and go out a little when slowing down. Always be careful not to let the speed go too fast. Always keep a figure-eight slide. When parking, slow down slowly, don't try to stop quickly.

Brake technology is equally important, otherwise it will only move and it will be bad if it can't stop. In fact, braking means that when you slide down a slope, you just need to push the tails of the two skis outward, and the heads of the skis slowly move closer together, so that the skis are in an inner figure of eight, so that the inside of the skis contacts with the snow and forms resistance to stop.
