There are 2 main methods of stopping on skis. The first method is to snowplow to a stop, you simply put your skis in a wedge to slow you down until you stop. The second method is to do a hockey stop, this one is a little more technical. If you skate it is the same way you hockey stop on skates. If you don't have any clue what I'm talking about, a hockey stop is where you turn to one side very quickly and dig your edges in to stop. If you don't know how to ski, get some lessons and your instructor will teach you the first method first. Then they will teach you the second method, however, you usually don't learn the hockey stop until your second or even third season because it is a lot harder than it sounds and as I said earlier, it is quite technical.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
