What I usually do, as a beginner skier is point the toes inward, it slows you down a lot the more inward you go.. Just don't trip. This is called a snowplow and at slower speeds it is very effective but another way to stop which is better at higher speeds or if you need to stop quickly is called the hockey stop. Hockey stoping takes practice but once you get it, it is a lot easier. This is where you turn very quickly to the side and dig your edges into the snow, again don't trip and don't try to stop too fast, if you do I can guarantee you will fall.
