Take a Sneak Peak Inside (page 23):
"Skiing is an activity that put people in awkward situations sometimes especially when they are not used to it. They can lead to serious injuries if the proper precautions are not taken. Due to this, amateur skiers’ needs to go by the following skiing tips very carefully to get them excited and also protect them from possible injuries during performance.
It is recommended for skiers to stay evenly balanced over the skis. Skiers have to understand the fact that, their boots push them forward but the weight of the skis scoots them back. Many amateur skiers tend to lean way back or forward to counter-balance themselves. This idea is very wrong. It is therefore advisable to keep the legs squarely under the torso with shoulders pointing downhill as this will provide a stronger technique with more control. Take note that skiing in balance is effortless."
