Don’t Leave A Sitzmark Editor’s Note: The following is the third in a series of ski iessons pro vided to the Hilitop by the Beech Mountain Ski ResorL You are almost ready to ski for the first time. But before a skier learns to come down a slope, he must first know how to climb up. First, make sure the skis are on the right foot. While skis are identi cal (no left or right ski), the foot on which a ski is installed is determined by the positioning of the buckle on the run-away or “safety” strap. The buckle should always be on the outside of the ski boot when the ski is installed. It is very simple to walk on skis. Don’t attempt to lift your skis, but slide along gently, using your ski poles to push from behind. To climb the hill, first put your skis across the fall line. This is the imaginary line a ball would roll down the mountain from top to bottom, or straight down. With your skis across the fall line begin making tiny steps sideways toward the hill. Roll your knees slightly toward the hill and use the edges of your skis to keep from sliding back down. Support is also gained from the downhill pole, which should be planted firmly in the snow before each step. Cnee you get to the top, there is a safe and proper way to turn around. Place your ski poles down hill beyond the reach of the ski tips. Get firm support from your poles and begin making tiny steps around, moving only the tails of your skis and keeping the tips planted flatly on the ground. You will soon face straight down the fall line. With knees bent and leaning forward in the bindings, take the poles out of the snow, relax and let the skis go straight downhill. Remember always to lean forward when skiing, al though you will feel an initial ten dency to lean back as in water ski ing. Placing your weight forward will prevent the skis from slipping out from beneath you. Before you begin skiing down hill, there are first some Important rules of the slopes you must learn. Like driving a car, flying and most mo- MAR HILL SHOE SHOP FRIENDLY SERVICE QUALITY WORKMANSHIP under Robinson’s Furniture Store bile activities, certain rules must be observed on the slopes to assure maximum safety and convenience to everyone. Other skiers on the slopes will expect you to follow these rules of safety and etiquette: The uphill skier is responsible for avoiding collision with a person below him. The only exception is that a skier entering the slope from a trail or starting out after a rest must stop and look uphill before entering the slope. Never ski out of control. If you do find yourself skiing out of control, stop quickly or use your “emergency brake” and sit down. This may leave a “sitzmark”, or hole in the snow which could be dangerous to other skiers. The sitz mark should be filled immediately with snow. If you see an injured skier, place your skis, or his, across him in an “X” to let other skiers know of the accident. Stay with the injured person and tell the first skier you see to notify the ski patrol. Be sure your skis are equipped with run-away straps. After getting on a chairlift, close the safety bar immediately and hold your ski tips up to prevent them from being caught in the snow. Cpen the safety bar just before you are ready to leave the lift. Never ski close to a beginner. He may make a sudden wrong move, and it is your respon sibility to avoid a possible collision. Do not attempt to ski on a slope more difficult than your ability. If you must stop while skiing, first move to the side of the slope out of the way of the other skiers. Ski down and rest if you become tired. ELLER OIL CO. AUTO AND SMALL-ENGINE REPAIR HEATING OILS (metered deliveries) DIAL 689-4441 Mars Hill, N.
