Getting up after a fall with your Skis still attached on your feet can be pretty exhausting at first. However, once you get the hang of it, you will be able to make it without difficulty.
STEP 1: Position yourself in such a way that it will be easy for you to get up. Put your Skis parallel to each other and across the Fall line. Bend your legs so it will be easier to lift yourself. With one hand on the handles and your other hand above the baskets, put your Ski Poles in front of your body and plant the tips uphill.
STEP 2: Using your Ski Poles for support, slightly lean forward and push yourself upward with your hand near the baskets.
STEP 3: Move your lower hand near the handles for more support as you push yourself upright.
STEP 4: You have now completed the systematic way of standing up after a fall. Take note that due to gravity, it will be easier to get up on a steep slope than if you are on a flat area.
Learning the right way of getting up after a fall can spare you from injuries and exhaustion. Though modern release bindings which are specifically designed to kick the boots out of the Skis during a fall can minimize the risks of getting yourself injured, it is still wise to know how to get up properly when the situation calls for it.
