I joined a ski and snowboard club at my school with my friend and we both do not know how to ski. All our friends are really good and go on black diamonds, but we took a lesson obviously. The instructor person told us in order to turn, you lift up your toe in the boot.....? So....I went on the bunny hill and I tried it and I seriously just went straight down. He told us in order to stop, you need to turn. Okay, well...considering his method of turning didn't work, I didn't know how to stop. So....I ended up just falling. My parents are skiers, my dad being pretty good, and they both told me they never heard of lifting up your toe in order to turn. They said they would take me up one day and teach me how to ski but I just want to kind of get an idea of what your actually supposed to do and how you actually supposed to turn and stop, cause quite honestly, that lesson was not helpful at all! Please and thank you! (:
You had a crappy instructor then. Turning is about shifting weight from foot to foot. You apply more weight to a ski and it'll turn. Example, to turn right, shift your weight to the left ski. To turn left, shift your weight to the right ski. As a beginner, you should be shown how to "Snowplow". This is making a wide "V" with the skis. Then you'll apply pressure in a controlled manner to the different skis to turn. I've taught people from 3 years old up to 60 y/o how to ski this way.
