First, get some clothes and equipment for riding. Do not dress tightly on the slide, put on a special ski jacket and trousers, use thermal underwear. Remember to wear a hat and gloves.

When choosing boots, make sure that they sit tightly on you, but at the same time they do not press or rub anywhere. Rentals can be found almost next to any slope designed for skiing. In snowy weather, be sure to use goggles, while skiing, even at low speed, snow will fly into your eyes, and you will practically not see anything, glasses will protect your eyes from snow, as well as from the bright sun.
Step 2
For the first time, use the services of an instructor, he will tell you the basic principles of skiing, as well as help to overcome the fear of the first descent. In order to learn how to ride, choose not steep tracks, if possible, those on which there are few people. Put on your boots before going up the hill.

Stand perpendicular to the slope, insert your boots into the ski bindings, and begin descending. There should always be that leg in front, which is closer to the top of the slope, ride a little, then turn, do not gain high speed.
