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 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.
That was funny!!! lol
good and informative
your skis can be set to pop off at a certian point of force..depending on skill level usually
im go n skiing in bulgaria on the 3rd and im fuckd

This is a perfectly fine training vid. I am a professional ski instructor myself and find this one just fine….

very helpful. It really helped me to learn.
0:13 So you need to fall on purpose?
@jasoncos2 Wtf its so hard to get up with ski on dumbass
@jasoncos2 wow like you can do it dumb ass
@swissdude101 Are you that fucking stupid that you dont know what is sarcasm you son of a bitch?
He makes it look a hell of a lot easier then it is lol… I don't fall a lot but when I do it takes me for ever to get back up lol
Looks easy in the video, wasn't so easy on the slope the other day, I had to remove the ski almost each time, swearing a lot 🙂
lol im just watching these for fun! how dumb does this guy think we are!! he explain how to take off a ski.
My goodness I'm glad my ski instructor was more articulate than this.
i thought this was how to recover when ur going down the slope not just falling over for no reason
The FFF rocks :D. *FFF-Face first fall xD.
I found this very helpful since i was having a hard time trying to get up
you people are the laziest fucks in the world
too bad you idoits that mouth off at the people that actually get something out off these vids couldn't get a life and find something better to do . YOU ARE THE FUCKING LOSERS LOL
chuck norris doesnt fall
he makes that shit look so easy! i flew off the course and into a thorny bush that shit was funny/scary asfuck (yesterday was the first time id ever skiied)
lol at the people skiing up the hill 0:21
Thank you for putting up these videos.
i teach skiing/snowboarding, the biggest problem people have is they think things are harder than they are. people also seem to get scared very easily. honestly if you have ANY physical aptitude either sport is easy to start and super fun to learn

And I've never heard anyone call it "snow skiing"- kinda kooky lol
@TheMaecki try standing up sideways instead of forward like normally. your center of mass should be right about over your feet.
@kkamikazzee heck ya, watch other people and just give it a go!
GOING TOMMORROW!!!
very helpful video. Thanks !
I hate that face down fall! Also hate the chairlift guy yelling GET UP!!! And he doesn't stop the lift!
1:10 :)))))))
@katielovessports Please, everyone falls, even experts!
Thank you for posting these series of videos for all who ski or want to start…especially kids.
Dang. I just lost my desire to learn to ski.
all those are from races, high speeds, difficult courses, rock hard snow conditions. Its a lot different (and safer) for the average skier. Its really a blast, give it a try sometime, and wear a helmet.
I bought some used skis last week. Just waiting for something to stick to try it out! And I certainly getting a helmet.
excellent, next thing on your list are boots then. Boots are actually probably the most important piece of equipment you will buy. Too big and you wont have proper control of your ski, to small and your feet will freeze, too flexible and you wont have proper control/ wont be able to improve, too stiff and you will just get beat up. Do yourself a favor and skip the big box stores, go to a dedicated "bootfitter." Research and make sure they have experience and dont be too cheap.
Bootfitting is expensive, but im trying to get you to avoid making the mistake I did and buying a boot that is way too big and doesn't fit. I had to duct tape my feet every day to avoid blisters, and they were slopping all over, really had an effect on my skiing ability. They were so soft and big that I could do tele turns in them. All of it lead to little enjoyment out of skiing. A reputable bootfitter will fit your budget and your ability with something comfortable.
whenever i faceplant i always end up twisting my knee when trying to uncross my skis!
What drugs does this guy use?
I see how you are supposed to fall, what happens of your injured. I went skiing for the first time last March fell backwards and landed on my arm, it was broken. I had no time to address the fall.
I was snow boarding on the first day of my holiday and as i was turning i fell back, in the moment i put back my arms to protect my but, what a terrible move, this resulted in a fractured wrist. This pretty much ruined my holiday.. Next time i'll be snow skiing for sure.Â
how do u get up after u Fall on your face and your skiis are over your head
Thought this video was very helpful thank you
how do you correctly fall down during your skiing?
your buut gets on to the ground first then turn your body or what?
they make it look so easy but every time i try to get up, I just end up sliding downhill
I'm pretty sure that if man were meant to ski . . .he'd be born wih skis. Damn fools!
It's easy to get up like this if you're on a slope because you're already halfway up, with your skis below your body, before you start. But if you fall over on level ground (as beginners will), due to upper body weight that must be levered from horizontal,  it is almost impossible to get up without first removing skis.
