Stopping
A stop is a lot like a hockey-stop on ice skates, or a power slide on a skateboard. You bring the board perpendicular to the slope and dig the uphill edge in. If you are heelside (if you are facing downhill) you stop by digging your heels in. If you are toeside, (if you are facing uphill) you stop by digging your toes in. Slowing down is basically the same thing. It’s just that when you want to stop you apply a lot of pressure fast. At the same time, you’ll be balancing your weight so you don’t upset your position to the point where you tip over. Practice stopping heelside. Then practice stopping toeside.
