Or, learning to fall being the main priority when learning the ropes on the slopes (hey I can rhyme)
When I coached, I specifically taught everyone various ways to fall prior to even getting on the chair. Once you know the right way to fall, and yes there is a wrong way, the learning becomes less discouraging and you inevitably wear less protective gear when you ride.
However all that becomes eliminated when the hills turn to sheets of ice. Even with that kind of condition its virtually impossible to fall properly
