How to make the first ski steps?

If you are planning to come to the Olympic mountain Jahorina and you are a beginner you need to follow the tips we have prepared for you.

It is necessary for beginners to make their first steps in ski schools and with the best instructors – the most experienced and with the highest degree of vocation. Beginners should not try to learn skiing on their own because they will absolutely do the wrong thing and will not even be aware of it, thus incorporating the wrong motor sterotype that will be very difficult to correct later. Experience shows that all those who “learned” independently, later spent more time on ski schools in an attempt to correct these mistakes than from the very beginning, methodically, step-by-step, built a proper motor stereotype on the basis of which they could independently upgrade over time. and perfect the technique experientially and cognitively.

The best years to start are certainly 6 years if the training is done according to the methodological program of the national ski school, although children can go skiing at the age of only three, but only as much as they want and if they want without the use of a methodical education program already using play and animation as a means of unconsciously adopting desired movements. As a rule, sports and physical education professors should be working with children who have further specialized in their skills – calling a professional ski instructor in an appropriate vocational training course or combined animators – educators and ski instructors as part of a unique program for young children – preschoolers.

When working with children, play and animation are as high priority as working in pairs and groups. Children in small groups are quick to adopt the task. Working with children as well as with adult beginners is most effective within training grounds – or kindergartens that are purposefully equipped, fenced and arranged for effective training.

In adult training, the most effective one-on-one approach . Adults, unlike children, have their own inhibitions that are harder to overcome in a group, except when it comes to friends or family, relatives when working in a group is even easier and more fun for them.

In any case, the first steps on the skis should definitely be made through the ski school and on the training grounds. They are safe, equipped, properly configured and technically equipped so that it is incomparably easier for the beginner to master all the tasks of adopting the initial elements of skiing.

On Jahorina there are two training grounds for children and all beginners in skiing – the first Poljice training ground is located on the Poljice plateau and within it two carpet lifts are built, as well as numerous fun props, adapted primarily to the youngest visitors. The second Rajska Dolina polygon is located in the upper part of the mountain and contains one carpet lift and a training ground for the youngest visitors and all beginners in skiing.

When it comes to ski school, we recommend instructors of  Jahorina Olympic Center, who with their experience and methodical approach can show everyone how interesting, easy and exciting it can be to become a skier or a border. Always schedule your classes on time and get the best appointment according to the plan of the day.
