Straight-lining seems like one of the easiest things to do on skis if you’re comfortable with speed. You just point your skis straight and get low to reduce wind resistance, right?

European ski instructor Marius Quast put together a video explaining the techniques necessary for proper straight-lining, helping you to master the skill before your next big ski trip.
