SKIERS’ FIRST SKI POLE
PREPARES FOR LATER INTRODUCTION OF SKI POLES
#1 WALK ON THE SNOW
For “never ever” skiers (first time skiers) basic boot work is important and is a great place to start. Time spent walking on snow in boots only (no skis yet) helps focus on the new feeling for their feet, ankles and legs.
#2 PRACTICE PROPER STANCE WITHOUT SKIS
Once the new skier becomes comfortable with this new feeling, grab a SkiRing and discuss a proper athletic stance before they strap their skis on. Instructors should demonstrate using a SkiRing along with students who also have a SkiRing. Ask them to find their “ready” position. Are you in balance? Find your balance. Too far back on your heels? Too far forward? Just Right! Too wide? Too close? Just Right!
#3 PRACTICE PROPER STANCE WITH SKIS
After they have practiced this without skis and have a good grasp on their stance and balance, have them put their skis on and and repeat all of the above.
#4 GET MOVING
Once the new learner is ready to move, have them practice the following movements while holding the SkiRing out front to help them maintain their balance and as a cue to keep their eyes looking forward/down the hill.
Walking with skis on
Shuffle with skis on
Side step on flats
Pinwheel stepping turns (also known as Daisy stepping turns)
Side step climbing with skis
Herringbone climbing with skis
Straight run on gentle slope to a run out stop
Gliding wedge to a run out stop
Gliding wedge to a turn stop
Gliding wedge to linked turns.
Traverse across a gentle slope
Depending on your learning area, you may be able to add in riding a Magic Carpet. LOAD and UNLOAD are big milestones in learning.
Load the Magic Carpet (pinwheel turns are typically needed)
Unload the Magic Carpet (gliding and pinwheel turns are typically needed and a traverse to move safely out of the way of others)
Now try:
Straight run with a hop (tip on the snow, tails up)
Wedge change-ups (wedge to a match and back out again)
Ski backwards on a gentle slope (helps skiers feel the shin-boot-tongue connection)
