Beginner Snow Skiing Lessons : How to Control Speed & Stop: Skiing Tips

[costomX168]

I think you should STOP telling people to use pizza as a way to learn to ski. It does not work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you should tell them to Stand up and look were they want to go. Ski like you walk upright and not like you have to PEEEE going down the hill. If they get in over there head! They will go back to basic's. If they tri to do pizza on a real hill, they are just going to get hurt. If they stand up and turn they will just stop.

[Airkilla09]

@costomX168 I completely agree, I learned to "pizza" , I ended up going full speed down the mountain all day long with no control and the fear that i was going to die (speed still was thrilling) , i never really learned how to stop, I think the turn stop is prob the best idea for anything other than a baby bunny slope

[luvdancing224]

once i was at hidden valley and was on this thiing called the magic carpet and my ski tips went off and i turned into a ball on the tredmill lift and while my friends laughed at me i was in a lump intill i was able to get off the lift lolz

[borisburkhart]

Margarita Pizza Please!

[livinglovingmaid94]

[tkcltdc]

[snowghoust]

[Lilhyde417]

[B1ueTigerNinja]

Is his script on the ground?

[mele111979]

Usefull. Thank you!

[sophshel]

mt hood meadows!! goin theirr 2morrow lol! how COINCIDENTAL!? :D ha..ha

[Donjuanthesecond]

Trust an american to use food analogies to teach skiing. In part 2 we learn how to turn using the milkshake method, and stop like a pancake. This dude reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite....

[BIGGSHAUN]

If you french fry when you should pizza, you're gonna have a bad time!

[Lilhyde417]

@BIGGSHAUN yes you will and its hard to get up

[BRgoalie]

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT IS LEARN IN SKIING

[09CJR]

im going skiing next year with school it's all the way in austria but i need to learn quick can some1 please help me????? ps expert village sucks

[vindibona1]

Sorry... but real pros haven't taught that beginner ski technique since 1982. Do you see expert skiers skiing in a snowplow? Of course not! The correct speed control key is TURN SHAPE. Skis should be guided in SAME direction, out of the fall line and up hill, even in if a wedge... NEVER in opposite direciton and straight down the fall line.

If you learn this technique you run the risk of becoming a terminal intermediate skier.

[MegaDaadir]

shit i tryd yesterday and that was my first time on skiing it was fun but i got many slam hhhhh

[samc534]

@howie094 i love that episode of south park lol

[braaaainz]

his speaking is off because he is reading off a script. The teleprompter is scrolling too slow for his competency!

[jennerhi]

[XxROBERTSONx]

@howie094 haha south park

[businessbmw]

I got in a inline skating accident, and did some damage to my wrist, was in a splint for 1 month in pain for 2 weeks. Im really scared to get in Ski's. I know falling in snow is much better than ski's but my wrist hurt so bad that im scared to fall again.

[CruSh3rpz]

@howie094 South park :D :D

[weestitch]

makin me hungry now ...

[jimmyjohnsonrocks123]

Yeah that Pizza/French Fry sure could have helped me when I was learning to ski as a wee lad....heh!

Great tutorials here.

[MW2kicksass1]

omg

it is so easy to stop

when i went skiing in ST Johann , Austria the instructors called it a snow plow

and when you going down hill it is a lot easier to parallel turn then snow plow ;)

worked for me

now i'm intermediate skier ;)

This explains a lot... I tried skiing for the first time a while back. Eventually I learned how to stop properly, but until then... lot's of falls and hard landings.lol. I love skiing! It really is fun, once you know how to stop. haha.

[CheaMcdermott89]

[AngretLord]

[AdamAddiction09]

Thanks lots of help

[NinjaWalaby]

this makes me remember when i was really little doing the wedge and stuff but now skiing is so easy its like natural but hitting rails in the park is hard still not that good im about to be able to 270 off box's i was looking for a 270 off video now...

[cityfashion1]

isnt it pizza and fries? then stop kinda like you're skatingish?

[toobiemaker]

Pizza! French Fry! Pizza! French Fry!

[MrTheNody]

Men this is Learn no Proffesional !!!

[skizonetk]

Great video! We're currently recruiting for moderators and searching for users at our new forum ski-zone(dot)tk ! It's just a general forum with people who have a passion for snowsports.

[CookieJarAddiction]

Good video, but you need to mention that if you are on anything steeper than a green run, a "wedge" or "snowplough" some may call it, wont actually stop you. As some may think once they start to turn and progress to steeper runs, they will have problems stopping.

P:s: and yes it is true, your height determines length of ski you get and your weight determines the DIN setting, which clicks the ski off if you have a fall to prevent injury. :) x

[PizzaDude36]

@extremeboy13

Your an idiot everyone has to start from the beginning...the wedge teaches beginners how to initiate turns without catching an edge....yes the wedge is impractical on anything steeper than a green...but walk first before you run

[QuIcKySiLvA]

pizza & fries.......?

[extreamboy13]

This is bullshit... "wedge" position only works for like 6 year olds going at 2mph... If you wana stop properly, stop like you're stopping in skates...

[TheLaughingMan84]

Idiot, have you EVER gone skiing?

[ovatsug1]

this only works for people who arent fat like me.....i had to learn how to carve s turns to keep my speed down first.....lots of pain but easier than snowboarding to get the hang of

[jultirol93]

loser!!!

[blueneptune146]

Ok... So I've only been Skiing once, and that was after failing at snowboarding. I fell less... but when I fell, it seemed epic. One of those snowballs with skis and poles sticking out kind of deals. The only informative part of this video that isn't common sense is to keep your knees apart. I'll try that next time. Other than that, this video is just common sense.

[muskstix2009]

im about to go skiing in 4 days and ive been told that u have to tell them your height and approx weight which will determine your ski lenght is this true ?

[cargin23boy]

yes you have to be weighed and measured then tell your feet size (hieght is for what size of poles and feet size is for your ski size)

[cab711]

I remember this from the South Park episode.

[ThePianosKeys]

That helped me way more than my racist teacher going like I gotta learn it myself.

[psyneoner]

wow.

[SwissSpring]

PIZZA...I belive he is not an instructor and does not know most of current PSIA and/or ISIA members do not use pizza anymore. Anywhy, I would not recommend this guy.

[jaekn]

Uh oh... Ski aristocrat bitch in the house.

[apowers008]

This guy could make Onions Cry. Please no more!

You can actually see him reading something off a Cue Card!

[skuzapu]

So? I'm a first time skier and have found this invaluable, informative and well presented. What do you expect from something like this? Is he not correct?

[philytheking]

what kind of skiing is this?

[nsutrumpeter]

its just called skiing

[philytheking]

looks like you need that helmet!

[LITTLEBUTTERFLY121]

This is my fav expretvillage video <3

I LUV DAVID TOO! <3

[newengland72]

Oh man guy, I hate to be a big skiing nerd, but you are way too far backseat in your wedge demos.

I know it looks steezy (nice invaders), and I do it to, just on my own time... NOT while giving a lesson.

Leaning too far back will cause people to become "stuck" in the wedge, and then some unsuspecting ski instructor (like myself) will have to break them of their bad habit. A daunting task that you yourself may have had to face.

Cliff notes: Please don't give demos leaning too far back.

[steezeburgers]

i spot line invaders :)

[00Sythe00]

I went skiing for the first time last week...I had a 2 hour lesson with a private instructor and he said I was doing great. I later went off onto the beginner slope and tried. I fell about 5 times, and my wedge just doesn't seem to work. Any advice?

[config2000]

I find that concentrating on pushing my heels into the snow helps. I kind of ignore the front of my foot and apply weight to the back end only

[1stamerica1st]

by twintips and ski switch

[Mini40Kgamer]

sking is for pussys fuck all of you snowboarding is where its at

[gnrwannabe]

you think oregon sucks for skiing?

Try living in Pennsylvainia....

[jfizzlekrizzle]

So true Michagan too ^^

[dslala0721]

that pizza trick does not help!!!

[WorstAccount]

for me it does

[catfish4281]

A sweet tutorial that merges fast food with skiing, hard to beat and hilarious!

[pikeystudmuffin]

Don't run before you can walk, have plenty of lessons and you will be fine. You will really enjoy yourselves. PS keep away from ice, if its icy where you are then move on to somewhere else. Thats how I did my ACL by being somewhere I shouldn't have been, a lack of experience on my part. Won't be doing that again!

[lipylicious]

my first attemp..i fell..face down lol

[Rroskat]

me too...yesterday. But it was very fun

[UL439]

pizza and fries... watch out if you fell you'll get the hotdog LOL

[damnationdefied777]

someone might get chili dogged in the face o_O

[mrjost55]

stop reading!

[marky81mark]

like any sport, there's always a risk, but then again there's more of a risk leaving your house in the morning! just get a lesson from a reputable ski school, and you'll be fine. there's some similarities to those sports, but seriously, just have a lesson, there's a reason people like me have jobs teaching skiing! we know the best and easiest ways to make skiing easy and fun for all levels of skier.

[Toob41]

french fries, pizzas - do those yanks ever stop thinking of food ;-)

[Headshot2142]

Skiing is quiet easy, really!^^ Im skiing for 12 years now and its really fun do do a triple backflip on a ramp^^

[bignoseboy1]

lol bullshit

[VeeDeeCee]

right...

[TravisTrucker]

Nice lie.

[extreamboy13]

ya well i did 10 backflips and then 1 front flip... but i was falling off mount everest

[Zac253Luvya]

You guys should go to Norway, Hemsedal or Trysil and Beito is the best place to go skiing... :D

I know this becouse I live in Norway and I love skiing ;)

[dkdelay987]

going to alyeska in girdwood alaska soon

[jessse288]

i live in achorage and cant wait for more snow so i can go to hilltop

[marky81mark]

for anyone watching this, and is now worried about skiing, don't be, there is next to no technical content in here, and although he has some basics in there, it really is basic, a professional will show you how to make this way easier to actually stop. it's not any more complicated than he's shoing you, just a few easy additions to actually make it more like skiing! just get a lesson when you go away, or before!

[cowplop4587]

wth is this

[kainaussie]

stopping is called snow plowling

[newengland72]

Oh boy,

One of the first concepts that an instructor should introduce is the Turn to Stop concept.

If a student is not helped to understand that, they will not get very far in skiing...

[mf888]

I am so excited, I am also going on my first skiing trip to snowmass! but im scared because I think I will suck at skiing because of my weak knees!!

[atixheli]
