If you're leaning too much to one side, you can get two-footed with the help of the following tips:
- Make sure the terrain isn't too steep--try something less ambitious.
- Remove some of your fear by skiing on a beginner slope with a natural run out at the bottom.
- Make sure you distribute your weight equally between legs.
- Don't lean to the inside as the turn develops--you're not on a bicycle!
- Traverse with the "weak" leg on the downhill side--this will strengthen the lazy or uncooperative leg.
- Try to always stop with the weak leg on the downhill side.
