Practicing an emergency stop could save your life. For skiing downhill, attach the heels of the bindings and adjust your boots if appropriate. Technique is identical to alpine skiing, except that a more conservative style should be adopted. Carrying a heavy pack, perhaps tired from walking uphill, and far from emergency services, this is not a good time to take chances. Emergency Stop A dangerous slide can be arrested by using ski poles. Hold the two poles together, one hand by the handles, one hand down by the baskets, and dig the points into the snow or ice.
