So now I'm going to be teaching you about the proper stance for snow skiing. What people
have done in the past and is what you don't want to do now is you don't want to have your
feet directly together and kind of wiggle down the mountain. You want to have your feet
about shoulder width apart. This helps with your core balance and it makes it so if you
need to you can recover yourself and it allows for more strength to be distributed down to
your feet from the upper part of your body. Also note, that key placement of your hands
and ski poles is very important too. You don't want to have your hands down here because
it's going to drop your center of gravity down and it's going to make it so it's hard
to do a turn like this and you don't want them out like this because making a turn like
this is not very effective either. You want to have your hands right here, thus making
it so it's constantly driving forward and it keeps your poles, so if you do need to
push, they're right here and it helps with your balance. So you want to make sure that
your hands and poles are right here in front of you.
