Over the last several years we've received so many emails from people
who were heading to the mountains to make their very first attempt at
skiing. Admittedly we used to wonder why people exhibited
differing levels of anxieties. Then I was at one of the local ski
resorts with a good friend and her fears before hitting the slopes for
the first time were very real. Everything from getting her skies on, to
getting on the lift, to getting off the lift, to...well you get the
picture. Skiing for her was something she WANTED to do, however to get
to that point she was going to have to conquer numerous fears. Later,
after a couple of years of skiing, she shared that her main fear was
heights. So the lift ride for her was the main prohibiting factor
in learning to ski.
So this "skiing tips" article is dedicated to Carolyn. You know who you
are...and thanks for being my inspiration for wanting to provide some
helpful information for new skiers.
If any of this sound like you...then read on!
We've divided this information into an online ski lesson of sorts.
However, nothing - and I repeat NOTHING - can replace the help that you
can gain from taking a lesson. All of the Southeast and Mid
Atlantic ski resorts have highly qualified instructors and they are used
to working through beginner's anxieties and fears. Don't feel
intimidated...get a lesson.
However, a lot of our emails and inquiries come from people BEFORE they
ever leave home. So this information should be helpful.
We're going to take them in lesson form...so here we go. Simply
