- 1). Face both skis across the slope.
- 2). Plant both poles on either side of your body for balance.
- 3). Lift the ski that is furthest uphill and swing the tip of this ski out, keeping the tails together. Your skis will make a V-wedge shape with the back tails together and the front tips apart.
- 4). Take small steps with both skis retaining the V-shape so that your body and skis face up the hill. The V-shape will prevent you from sliding backwards down the hill.
- 5). Step one leg forward up the hill, while keeping the tip pointed out.
- 6). Place your weight onto this top ski.
- 7). Move the lower foot up and over the top foot, pointing the ski tip out and using the poles to keep from falling over.
- 8). Climb up the hill in this fashion until you reach your desired destination.
- 9). Look back down the hill and notice that your tracks look like a fish skeleton.
