There’s nothing quite like taking a black diamond downhill run to invigorate the blood, to ignite the lust for more superhuman bursts of speed and acceleration. Only a select few human activities provide this kind of rush: skydiving, base jumping, and luge come to mind. But alpine skiing is one of those special sports that allows you to use the principles of Newtonian physics and aerodynamics—mixed in with a little G-force—to glide over a low friction surface at incredible rates of velocity (dodging large obstacles like trees, rocks, and newbs) and still have time to assume a cool pose as you slide to a stop, covering bystanders in a foot of your crystalline wake.

In this free winter sports instructional video series, learn how to get busy on the slopes, swishing and swooshing your way to excellence as an alpine skier. Getting good isn’t easy, but getting ski lessons from our instructor is a great way to start. He’ll show you a little bit of everything you need to know out there on the snow, including how to choose and carry ski equipment, how to dress, how to take care of your skis, and how to use the ski lift. Once you’ve captured the essence of looking like you know what you’re doing, learn how to practice basic ski moves, how to control your speed on the powder, how to stop, how to turn, how to recover from a fall, and where to go to get more ski instruction. Watch these vids and put this free advice to use on your next ski trip!
