If you want to learn to ski, first you need to learn how to walk with the snow skis on. You will also need to learn “stepping” to master two ski fundamentals, turning and stopping. By walking with skis you will perform the stepping drill, and you will learn both things.
One thing to watch out for is the “wedge”, also called the snowplow method. It forces your body in an unnatural position and slows down your learning pace.
The fastest way to learn how to ski is by taking a ski lesson. It is also the safest, because an experienced ski instructor is used to teaching newbies and knows the local slopes very well. You should start at the lower elevations with softer snow and warmer climate. A good instructor will also give you several exercise drills for safe practice before even climbing a slope.
