You’ve booked your trip to a beginner ski resort. You’ve watched some video ski lessons on YouTube. Heck, maybe you’ve even bought yourself a brand new pair of beginner skis. Now what? Do you make an absolutely massive sandwich, sit back to admire the sandwich, and then eat said sandwich? Nope. That would be weird. And also, it would have literally nothing to do with skiing.

Here at the Mpora mansion (FYI, it’s not actually a mansion), we’re very big believers in learning from our mistakes. Actually, no. Correction. We’re very big believers in learning from other people’s mistakes. That way, we can learn stuff without ever injuring ourselves in the process. Win, win.

To help you learn things about skiing, and also to highlight the importance of “walking before you can run”, we’ve compiled together this collection of ski beginners failing in spectacular/hilarious/mildly amusing ways. School’s in session, everyone. Get these stunning ski fails inside your peepers, asap.
