Saw the advice on previous postings about turning. Just sort of wondered..... about you know .................. stopping ?

re: More Advice

Keep turning .........

re: More Advice

its a bit like skating turn and drag your ski.
i found this easier than the snow plow(cant even spell it)

re: More Advice

Hiya,

I find it best not to try to stop, just keep going til you fall over, hurts sometimes but hey, I cant stop well.

Easy Dave. Couldnt be simpler mate- either just keep turning into the mountain until you end up sideways on and there you go, or just push the insides of your skiis out whilst pointing the front of them together (a snow plough) - (basically making an arrow with your skiis). this can take longer to stop, but can be effective whilst turning aswell.

Hope this helps dude.

I find falling over helps you to stop

re: More Advice

The first thing they teach you in ski school is how to stop - fall over... then they'll teach you how to go straight and then how to snow plough - once you can snow plough, you've got your second method of stopping as it slows you down. Toes together tails apart

Sounds like good advice I can't wait to give it a go.
