im going to tremblant in 3 weeks and the parks are just opening in most places since its late nov. i’ve never skiid since like 5th grade and i am 18 now. the last recent time and only time i went i couldnt do it. i could stand up right and i couldnt get up when i fell. ive never been taught how to ski, but i remember being able to when i was about 10-11. it’s been a while. i cant remember how to.? how can i do this? is there somewhere i can go to learn?

Lessons are your best bet. Learning how to ski alone can be very dangerous, and leaves a lot of room for developing horrible techniques. Getting lessons (offered at almost every single ski resort) will allow you to practice the best techniques from the start. I recommend a 6 hour private lesson one day, a 6 hour private lesson the next day, and a 3 hour private lesson the next day to really ready yourself and get familiar with the mountain. If you don’t have sufficient cash on you to pay for the private lessons, join a group lesson and the rates decrease a lot (I’m not aware of your financial background so I wouldn’t know what’s best for you). After taking lessons for a few days, you’ll be able to ski most of the black diamond trails at 99% of American ski resorts. Good luck skier! Hope this helped!

I have a trip coming up in 3 weeks to Mont Tremblant and i want to learn how to ski before then. I remember being able to when i was 10 or 11 but the last time i went skiing i wasn’t very good. I couldn’t stand up and i kept falling and then i wouldn’t be able to get up.

What I would do is go to some small ski place and take a ski school class. If you cant get to a ski place then I would read about skiing, and how to ski… But it will be very hard to learn with out taking a class.
