hello and welcome to our very first
tutorial of dropping snow. Today we're

to 不定詞

gonna be talking about our very first
steps, how to carry skis, how to put skis

on, how to balance on skis. So to carry
skis, the first thing we need to learn is

how to place the skis together. We place
them together like you can see here in

the images, with one brake sitting above
the other skis break. So once you have

the skis together they're gonna be much
easier to move around and manage. So now

you grab the skis and you place the skis
onto your shoulder making, sure that the

bindings is behind your shoulder as you
can see here. Then make sure that you put

your hand well in front of the ski, on
the tips, and you counterweight with a

hand downward, otherwise your ski's
could fall backwards. So now we put the

skis on. So the first thing is to clean
the snow off the bindings, but even more

important is to clean the snow of the
sole of your boot, you do this by

scraping against the binding with a
backward movement, make sure it's

backward, this way the ski won't move
because the brake is in the snow,

preventing it to move backwards. So make
sure the movement is from the heel to

the toes and using the front part of the
binding, the toe piece of the binding. Now

that the boot is nice and clean, we align
the toe piece of the boot with the toe

piece of the binding we look back, we align
the heel with the heel piece of the

So it's important to know that the ski
is a little bit longer in the front than

it is in the back, and this is no
coincidence, the ski is designed for you

to lean forward, the ski and the boot, the
boot has a slight tilt forward making

you having to lean forward when you put
your boots and your skis on, It's almost

as if you were leaning on something
solid and it's preventing you from

falling forward. so put your feet at the
width of your waist more or less, then

make sure that you bend all three main
articulations, which is your ankle, your

knees and your waist, this will give you
much more balance and freedom of

movement. A simple exercise of a jumping
up and down a few times will help you to

get into this position. So lets talk
about leaning forward or leaning

backward. So in general, you've probably
heard that you need to lean forward, but

there is one thing that you need to
understand, and it's not really that you

leaning forward, its that you're balancing
on top of your skis. So standing on a

natural position, if you locate your
center of mass, which is more or less

where your belly button is, you will see
that it's located slightly in front of

your feet, so that means that if you were
to lean forward your center of mass also

moves forward,
and if you were to lean backwards your

center of mass would move backwards, so
when we say that you need to lean

forward, actually what we're saying is
that you need to stand square on your

feet, but it's a little bit of the
sensation of leaning forward
