    To slow down/stop: Make your skis into a snowplow or slice shape with your tips pointed together, the further apart the back of your skis are from eachother, the slower you will go
    Sorry, I havn’t taken a lesson since I was 5, so I forgot what they teach you, but you should just take a few lessons, they are not that expencive, and if you take only a couple, you can learn a LOT!!!! Good Luck

    Edge control – how and where and which edge to “dig in” to the snow, and weighting – how much weight to put on which ski when.
    That pretty much describes all ski lessons. Your instructor will have a series of drills and tips to help your progression.
    And don’t fuss – everyone else in the lesson will also be a beginner, so there is no reason to fear that you will stand out.

    point your skis down the hill. Put weight on your right foot and roll your right ankle in to turn left. Do the opposite for a right turn. To slow down, push the tails of your ski apart and bring the tips together creating a wedge.
