"Skier" is a person who takes a ski/snowboard downhill. Skiers wear "boots," "pants," and "helmets." Helmets protect their heads when they fall.
"Skiing", - Skiing down hills with skis. This can be done on either natural terrains (such as mountains) or man-made surfaces like ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment, including skis, poles, bindings, boots, jackets, gloves, hats, goggles, sunglasses, socks, and wax.
"Riding down hills" - Before you can ride downhill, it is important to learn how to prevent yourself from falling. Use your legs to push the ground with your back leg, while pulling your front leg forward and your front leg up. Keep going at this speed until you get to the desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you have reached your desired speed, let your legs relax and allow them to come together. When you want to slow down, you just repeat the process.
After you have learned how to keep yourself from falling to the ground, it is time to determine how fast you want. There are many methods to measure speed. Some prefer to count laps around a mountain, while others prefer the distance from one turn and another.
