A fall line is the path a ball would roll down a ski trail. Gravity wants to take your body down the fall line, so learn to ski this proper path.
1. Face your skis and legs across the hill, perpendicular to the slope.
2. Imagine a ball rolling down the hill and try to imagine the path - or fall line - it would take.
3. Face your upper body down the fall line. Try to have your hips, navel, shoulders and head all point directly down the hill.
4. Plant your downhill pole in front of your body and down the hill.
5. Telemark turn around your pole, steering with your feet. Keep your upper body facing the fall line.
6. Round out your turn and start a new turn in the opposite direction, before steering your skis up the hill. This will enable you to remain skiing down the fall line.
