Tips for First Time Skiers

As seen on Carolina AM

This is the season where many are trying out new things in life.  If skiing is one of those things, here are a few tips from Ski Magazine to keep in mind.   Get a lesson, but not from a loved one, and book it ahead of time.  Go slow and find patience.  Dress appropriately in layers.  Thermals, ski pants and jacket are important pieces.  Invest in good socks and gloves.  If you are going with a group write your name in all your gear.  Purchase your lift tickets as soon as you confirm your trip, so you don’t risk a sell-out.   Rent your ski equipment from a shop off resort for better rates.   Take a small backpack with a water bottle and snacks like trail mix or carry extra cash to purchase this at the resort lodge.
