Introduction
Alpine Skiing has long been an immensely enjoyed winter sport. It originated in the alps where locals have used skis to travel down the mountains for years and is still enjoyed there to this day. This video will give you an example of alpine skiing.
This recreational sport is often enjoyed in the same place it originated, the alps, hence its name alpine skiing.
This video of a plane flying over the alps should help visualize this mountainous area.
The alps are a very beautiful place and their steep grades are great for skiing.
There are different techniques used in alpine skiing. The presented information will highlight only two of the many techniques.
Task
To educate the reader on two techniques of alpine skiing.
Process
The first technique is the snow plow. In this maneuver the skier makes a wedge shape with his or her skis and creates resistance through the snow making them stop. This video will help explain it better.
This is a visibly simple stop for beginners. However turning can be equally as easy!! This video will demonstrate how the snow plow can be used to turn.
This is a great way to learn how to turn and helps you move into more advanced turn like the carve.
This report has only scratched the surface of alpine skiing. Alpine skiing can be enjoyed by the beginner on the gentlest of slopes, to the most advanced Olympic skier on the most challenging of slopes.
