How to get up after a fall while skiing. 

Whoever you are, you’re the greatest! Bless you

I found this video AFTER I went nordic skiing for the first time in 41 years. I was a glutz and fell, of course, and could not get up. Finally, some one cam ealong and helped me. I needed this video! Have now practiced in my apt. before venturing out again. THANKS

This is the most comprehensive & efficiently presented video on how to get back up - Bravo!

I went skiing for the very first-time last weekend. I felt like I took to it well except for standing after a fall. I wish I would've seen this video prior, thanks for the help.

the best tip out there when falling on skis. You are the best!

Great demonstration.

Will totally try these methods. I haven't been taught in ski school any of these methods, so these will come in handy. Have been skiing for eight years. I hope these would help me. Thank you for the video.

Excellent. Thanks for this video. I'm grateful for the various methods shown here. After a fall on the slopes recently I needed to remove the uphill ski in order to stand. I hope to practice some of these methods soon.

Thanks a lot, i'm gonna definitely try it tomorrow :)

Love it. Lollll. Actions speak louder than words. Will try

this was the best video I have seen for getting up !

Great! I know I'm going to practice these a lot ^^

Excellent!

fantastic

This is awesome ❤😂

Good video 👍 It’s hard to get up on flat ground

Wonderful..I would say I have decided my beloved position:)

Well, I've been there!

I definitely dont want to get into the Yikes zone 😅😅 I get scared of skiing once I saw that part

I prefer the roll around like turtle on back crying and then just give up method.

The first method shown can be difficult if you are not flexible. Notice the skier can touch the ground with legs fully extended (0:26) which is not many people can do.

I can barely touch my knees when on skis, never mind the snow!

1:31 fell and landed like this once but the points of the skis were facing the inside rather then out and i couldnt get up and thought i broke my leg. Would not reccomend landing this way

I fell once. I think it was in 2004.

😂

Here’s how to actually get up: 1. Don’t be fat. 2. If you’re fat don’t be old. 3. If you’re old don’t be out of shape. 4. If you’re out of shape don’t be fat.
