First Timers

Rent your skis and boots and try to borrow the rest. Take your time learning and don't rush straight up to the top of the mountain. Get used to the feel of your boots.

Exercise: Use your poles to scrape any snow off the bottom of your boots before slotting them into the bindings on your skis. Use your poles to push yourself around on some flat ground before joining the lift queue! To get your skis off, push down on the back of the bindings until your heel pops up.
