In competetion, professional ski athletes slide down the white slope so fabulously.
We imagine ourselves sliding like them :)
In reality, however, we have to learn how to ski :(
So, today, I want to give you simple information about our lesson for ski beginners.
Read carefully, practice by yourself, and.....contact us if you want to take a ski lessons in Korea!
1. Description of ski equipments
Basically, you need to know the equipments you will use. Ski instructors are going to introduce the equipment's name, how to use it, and what you have to be careful. It is not difficult to memorize, but it is important because knowing the equipment's name is essential for taking ski lesson.
2. How to put on & off ski
The ski boots and plates are not just running shoes. So you have to know how to put them on & off.
After borrowing ski that fits you best, your instructor will help you wear it.
It looks easy, but sometimes your boots can have snow stuck depending on the snow condition.
In that case, you can either give it a tap with your ski sticks or scrape the boots with your toe binding.
Finish wearing? Then, you are ready to slide on white snow !!
3. Practice falling down and getting up
The person who are good at falling down can avoid big injuries. Of course, the best thing is not to fall down, but falling down is so common for beginner. So, ironically, you have to learn 'how to fall down well' first. The instructor will show you on safe and flat ground step by step. Don't worry :)
4.Learning 'Snow Plough' (It's called 'A' shape)
Generally, 'A' shape is best for beginners because it is easy to control your speed this way.
To do this, you have to push the backs of the ski plates out and create 'A' shape with them.
It is going to give you some resistance and feeling of slowing down. As you can see at this picture,
the instructor slide down backwards and hold you safely to help making 'A' shape.
5. Taking Lift to Go up
Now, we should take lift to go up to the mountain. The instructor will take good care of you so don't be afraid and trust him. Firstly, you have to move to the lift gate and line up.
And then, the gate is opened, you have to walk forward a few steps.
Look behind you at the incoming chair and sit on that chair.
The instructor will pull down this safety bar and you will be putting your feet on top of the pull down bar.
6. Sliding Down !
Finally, you can slide down the slope! It's time to actually try it for real.
Let yourself go and then very very gently start to push the backs of the ski slightly wider.
Caution ! If you fall down during sliding down, you should move out of the way because
other skiers might crush into you. If you cannot stand up by yourself, the instructors will help you, so don't be scared.
Is it useful information to you?
Although it looks so easy and boring, it is so important that you should learn the proper forms of learning how to ski.
Also, it will be exciting lesson much more than you expect.
Stop imagining ! Just try to take a ski lesson in Korea !
