Line
If you have them, use them...
Very basic method of moving a new skier across flat terrain or mild slopes. It gets them used to sliding on skis while not under their own power (think gravity simulation) and requires them to have a good posture.
​
Key points:
-
ensure boots are correcly in bindings,
-
"non-pointy" end offered to the skier,
-
skis pointed straight forward,
-
stand tall, try not to get pulled-over,
-
skier stays to the side you are pulling from,
-
inform them where you are taking them,
-
have a key word or phrase to exit-the-ride.
