Skiing Beginner Course - Skiing Stance



Learning the standard stance for Skiing is one of the first steps a beginner should do. This will pave the way for beginners to easily learn the succeeding snow exercises such as walking, turning, and moving up the slope. Moreover, having the right stance will minimize the likelihood of falling when you start sliding down the slope.


Skiing Beginner Course - Skiing Stance The standard stance for Skiing beginners is called the snow plow position. Basically, the snow plow position resembles a pigeon-toe, a medical condition in which the toes tend to point inward. In Skiing, the tips of your Skis should point inward, making an inverted V.

Learning the snow plow position entails a few simple steps that would not take an hour to learn. Start off by standing across a moderate slope with your Skis on. Bend your knees a little and position your hands above your thighs. After that, try to position the tips of your Skis closer together. The tails should be wide apart. Maintain your balance and keep a relaxed position.

The snow plow position is apt for beginners since it offers stability. This is because the distance between your Skis places the weight in the center. Always try the snow plow position before you even start moving.


Upon learning how to do the Skiing stance on the slope, you are now ready to learn the next surface exercises.
