“With just a little practice, you’ll be able to control your speed as you slip, but make sure you don’t let your uphill ski get stuck in the snow! At first you’ll have to concentrate on keeping it next to your other ski. Pretend that your ankles are tied together with a strong rubber band. Tip both shins uphill and keep that uphill pinkie in the snow. You can lightly brush that pinkie toe (and the ski) along the snow as they slip down the go line.”
