Snow Valley, Big Bear Mountain Resort
How do Iw do I
know if I'mw if I'm
fit enough
fit nough
to ski?o s i?
For a first-timer,
strength and
aerobic fitness
don't help much. " Long-distance
runners are super fit, but they're
not always great at learning to ski, "
says Robin Barnes, director of ski
services at Heavenly Ski Resort. " It's
not about being an athlete. What's
most important is to be a good
learner, try things out, and learn
from your mistakes. Show up with
an open mind and you'll have a
good experience. "
Andy Adams, ski school manager
at Kirkwood, says a base level of
fitness is useful, but " skiing isn't
out of reach for anyone. On your
first day, you're asked to do some
physical maneuvers that you're
not used to and that require some
coordination. It can be a little bit
humbling, but we pace the lessons
so everyone can handle it. "
Is skiing safe?
I don't want to get
injured. " It's surprisingly rare
that anyone gets injured in a
beginner ski lesson, " says Elianne
Furtney, managing director of the
Mountain Sports School at Palisades
Tahoe. " We teach with a step-bystep
learning progression on gentle
terrain. The experience is designed
to be safe. Beginners are sliding
slowly, not speeding down a hill. "
Accidents most often occur
when new skiers get ahead of
themselves, Barnes says. After
finishing a first lesson, a beginner
might be tempted-often by their
more advanced friends-to try out
terrain that's above their skill level.
" It's like you've just learned
to walk, and then you decide to
run a marathon, " she says. " You
don't want to bite off more than
you can chew. "
Why should I learn to
ski in California? California
has 20-plus resorts, each with worldclass
instructors and an array of
lesson programs. You can ski in the
mountains east of Los Angeles or
650 miles north on Mt. Shasta-or
in dozens of places in between.
Resorts range from Lake Tahoe's
6,000-acre Palisades Tahoe, with
amenities like glitzy restaurants and
après-ski parties, to intimate ski
hills like Yosemite's Badger Pass, a
mere 90 acres but with astounding
scenery. California's mountains
receive plentiful snow: Lake Tahoe
and Sierra Nevada resorts average
300-400 inches per year, and
Southern California resorts average
100 inches. Airports in Sacramento,
Fresno, Ontario, Burbank, Oakland,
Bishop, and other cities make it easy
to deplane in the morning and ski in
the afternoon.
SNOW LINGO APRÈS-SKI: French term that means " after skiing, " when you take off your boots and kick back to talk about the great day you just had.
