REI Trailheads S1 EP2: How to Start Downhill Skiing

Sliding downhill quickly on two skinny sticks is as hard as it sounds. Resident goofballs Anna and Elena mastered the art of cross country skiing their last time out, and they are back for more fun. Laugh, learn and get inspired to hit the slopes yourself.

Big thanks to our Anne and our friends at the Professional Ski Instructors of America for helping make this video possilbe.

Visit your local REI store to ask an expert your questions, rent alpine skis or pick up everything you need to hit the mountain.
