Forget you are on skis and forget that the chair is moving. Just sit down and stand up as if it was at your dining room table. Someone is sliding the chair under you so put your hand down to your side, so you feel the chair coming and then sit. At the top, when the snow slopes down, just get up. If you think about the fear of sliding, you won't do what you need to do.

I used to be great at skiing but because of COVID I wasn’t able to go. This helped me remember what to do. Thank you! 😊

I wish we had videos like this when I was RElearning how to ski in the early 90s. I had learned in Germany on a slope where they had no chairlifts, just rope tows and T bars, and when I got on my first chairlift in the States, I thought it would be easy. I got up and fell right over. Talk about getting dirty looks! It wasn't until I took a beginner's lesson that I could do it properly. I recommend to any new skier that you take lessons from Square One. It's worth the investment.

I’ve been stuck in the south my entire life. Unable to ever see snow again. I hope one day I will be able to experience this

Why do you have to tilt your skis upwards before you get off? I’m
So nervous about a chair lift this has helped.

Turn up the music and move him even further away from the microphone. That would improve this video even more.

chair lifts have a safety bar now? Amazing the development of technology since I last skied, which was the year of the moon landing.

The hardest is when the line is downhill from the gate. It's. A terrible design for beginners who don't have control and falling before you even get on starts the day off roughly.
