Learn to ski (Chapter 1 - Philosophy of skiing)

The force that keeps you on the circle, points to the center. It is the string itself. Speed and force vectors dont have to align, like in circular motion or in the case of a pendulum. Consult a physics book, im off here, gone skiing.

Feb 13, 2010 - is it hard to ski? because im going in march and i dont no if i should be scarred or not

visualdarkness Says:

Feb 13, 2010 - @Fancy303 I'm a true beginner and I can tell you that skiing is nothing to be afraid of. It's like riding the bike for the first time, you will probably fall but it wont hurt. Don't be afraid as fear will make you lose control over the skis and then you accelerate and fall. You should be as calm as you can be and try to learn from others and remember to practically always try to turn (never lean backward in panic!) as turning is the key to control over speed and direction. Have a great time!

Feb 15, 2010 - its time to learn, but learning it is safe if you go on easy tracks. but after you starting to feel it 1-3 days, its one of the best things in life, trust me

Feb 26, 2010 - man i went skiing a week ago and haven't gone in like 2 years, and boy, did it suck. I am the worlds worst skiier lol hands down. I just can't get that zig-zag motion to stay in control. I took a lot of bad falls and was severley injured on one. i didn't take any lessons which was stupid and was real scared the whole time. i had no confidence which is why i was terrible probably.

Mar 1, 2010 - I skied for the first time yesterday at Sunrise in AZ (yeah, you actually can ski in Arizona!) It was pretty cool, but after watching this, I'm not sure how much I was really "sking". I was going horizontally down the mountain as much as I could. I'd get to the left side, then turn right, to the right side then turn left, etc... Anything else felt out of control and pretty freaky. I definitely want to try it again and get better.

Mar 11, 2010 - Hey, dahudge, if you're able to make turns both ways and remain under control the first time, that's pretty standard progress. I've seen lots of beginners that just point and go -- I call them bombers, because they look like divebombing runs from a WW2 movie more than skiers and you never know who and what they're going to take out on their way down the hill. Thank-you for actually learning to ski.
