First-Timer Tips |
Welcome to a hobby that we hope you will enjoy for a lifetime. If you have ever wondered why most skiers would quit their jobs and move on a powder day, you are about to find out first-hand. Our Ski Patrol at Winter Park wants to ensure that you have every essential tool to make your vacation a great experience. Ski Patrol has put together some first timer tips that will get you on the path to the fun and exciting world of alpine sports.
While we highly recommend taking a lesson your first time, these tips will take away some of the surprises that you may encounter during your first day on the slopes. These tips were compiled by people who were most likely born on snow so they have most of the answers you need.
Remember to play it safe and know your limits. Like anything else, it is a learning curve towards a very rewarding lifestyle.
