In the pizza progression initial step for beginners?

• A. Two skis then one ski
• B. One ski, then two skis
• C. Wedge stance
• D. Jumping

Answer: (B)

The pizza progression for beginners builds speed control through a stepwise approach, starting with balance and edging on a single ski before introducing the second ski to form the wedge. By beginning with one ski, a learner can focus on weight shifts, stance, and how the edge grips the snow without managing two skis at once. Once that feels steady, the second ski is added to create the wedge shape, which increases friction and slows descent, giving safer, more controlled practice. Jumping isn’t part of this progression, and starting with two skis immediately can be more demanding for a newcomer than gradually adding the second ski.
