"Hi! This is Dave Smith with Hillcrest Ski and Sports in Gresham, Oregon on behalf of Expert Village. In this tutorial we will cover beginning skiing. In this clip we're going to cover how to start skiing downhill. Make sure you're on a very gradual slope to start with. Also, take a look around you for any obstacles such as exposed rocks or ski area boundaries to make sure you don't hit them or cross them. Also be aware of the skiers around you so that you don't get in their way. Starting from a position where your skis are perpendicular to the slope, take your downhill leg and point your ski downhill followed quickly by your uphill leg. Proceed downhill with your feet shoulder width apart, your weight over the balls of your feet and your hands in front of you where you can see them. In the next clip we'll cover controlling your speed and stopping."
