Pro Tips:
- Learn to anticipate turns; subtle adjustments to your lean are more effective than sharp movements.
- Master the art of the 'controlled fall' – sometimes a planned tumble can be less damaging than a frantic attempt to stay upright.
- Pay close attention to the environment; certain obstacles can be used to your advantage if you time your maneuvers carefully.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different skiers; each one handles slightly differently and some excel in specific terrain.
- Practice makes perfect! Consistent play helps you develop essential reflexes and spatial awareness.
