I'm going to get risky this weekend and go alpine skiing!  I'm not sure what I'll need though!
Just bring skis with fixed-heel bindings.
Looks like I'll be heading to the sports store!  So all I need to do is put the skis on and go down the hill?
Yes, but skis with fixed-heel bindings make it difficult to climb back up, so you'll want to go to a place that has a ski lift.
Thanks for the tip!  Now, I don't want any broken bones - what safety precautions should I take?  Besides staying home  haha!
If you want to go fast then follow the fall line to go at maximum speed, but if your too scared then don't follow it lol
I think I'll be too scared!  LOL  Any recommendations for what type of skis to get?
I recommend alpine skiing equipment. That's what most back-country skiers use.
