How to

Step by step
  1. On a gentle slope, glide straight at a slow, controlled pace, just fast enough not to stall.

    Too much speed makes leaning back feel scary, so keep it mellow at first.

  2. Bend both knees slightly (a shallow bend, not a deep squat).

    Your ski boots support your shins forward, so go with that lean and keep your pelvis centered.

  3. Shift your weight gradually onto the heel side of both feet while sliding your hips (pelvis) backward.

    Don't arch your back, instead move your whole seat straight back over the heels of both feet.

  4. As your weight gathers on the ski tails (the back), the tips (the front) start to lift off the snow.

    Once they lift, hold your hips there and press both feet down with equal strength.

  5. Spread your poles slightly to the sides as a balance aid for when you tilt.

    Don't plant them in the snow, planting makes you rely on them and stops you from learning to balance with your feet alone.

  6. To come out, slowly return your pelvis to center and set the tips down softly.

    Rushing this throws you forward, so lower at the same speed you lifted.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

Unlike a snowboard, each ski moves independently, so pressing both skis with equal strength matters most. If one is stronger, that side lifts first and you tip over.

COMMON MISTAKE

Sitting back too far and landing on your butt → Your pelvis has traveled past your heels. Stop once your seat is right over both heels and don't drop any lower.
