Up until now you've been keeping the skis parallel and just sliding down.
It's now time to meet your new best friend - the snow plough.
You're going to push the backs of the skis out and create a vee or wedge shape with the skis And that's going to give you some resistance and the feeling of slowing down.
The easiest way to try the snow plough for the first time is downhill on the flat.
You can use a friend.
And all they're going to do is pull you along, using the ski poles, slide for a couple of meters and then gently push both skis.
Very important to make it equal, the backs of the skis wider and wider, look them in the eyes, its going to help you balance.
Okay, let's give it a go.
Start to slide.
I'm now simply going to push wider with the skis.
