Expert Village. In this tutorial we will cover beginning skiing. In this clip we're going

to talk about how to recover from a fall. Falling is part of learning to ski. It happens

to everyone. So, we need to know how to get back on our feet so that we can get on the

slope again. There are many different ways in which you can fall and positions you can

find yourself in after you've fallen. The basic thing that needs to happen is this,

you need to get your skis downhill from the rest of your body and perpendicular to the

slope so that you can stand up without moving any further down the hill. I'm going to show

you a few various positions that you may fall in and illustrate how one can recover from

this position and get to a point where they're ready to start skiing again. In this scenario,

my skis have crossed and I need to get them uncrossed. Get my skis back underneath my

body. Push up on the hill and stand. In this scenario, I've taken a face first fall. Again,

I'm going to remove my pole straps. See if I can get my skis below me. Again, my skis

are crossed. Uncross them. Get my skis underneath me, push against the slope and stand. If you

ever find yourself in a position where you don't feel like you can get your feet underneath

you, you can go ahead and remove your skis. Find your heel piece of your binding and push

on it until your boot pops out of the binding. And that brings us to our next clip which

is what to do if you experience a fall where you lose a ski.
