How to Position Feet for Skiing

Video Transcript

"I'm Ivan Madar. I'm a professional ski instructor and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. Now, let's assume you are not probably athletic coordinated, you've not done anything athletic for a long time and suddenly you want to ski. The way we start you with the skis, we start showing you all the skills you need to learn first without skis on. We put the skis aside and we try it in your boots. We try it first to do the same elements we would do with skis on, without skis. And elements, I mean, sometimes walking up the hill, walking downhill without skis. We are going to teach you how to turn your feet rather than your whole body, how to put your feet in the proper position for a wedge position because that is the way we are going to initiate a turn later on. So, you learn how to put your feet in the proper position."
