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.
