[Doraemon Ski Special] – Learn to Ski with Nobita!

As a beginner with no natural talent for skiing, Nobita often ends up being

Or like this↓

In short, he never managed to slide down even once… not once… not once…

But after all, Nobita is Nobita—has Doraemon by his side; how could he possibly worry about practicing skiing? Once Doraemon magically transports a chunk of snowy mountain into the room, young Nobita immediately dives into all the clumsy, clueless antics typical of a beginner.

Step 1: Hill Climbing and Wrestling

(Oh, it’s the editor yourself, isn’t it!)

It's worth praising—Doraemon's skiing lessons weren't for nothing after all; at least his uphill technique is spot on!

Doraemon's uphill move ↓

When the snowboard is positioned perpendicular to the fall line, it naturally comes to a stop. That’s why, if you want to move uphill, you can do as Nobita does—keep the board perpendicular to the fall line, use the edges to grip the snow surface, and carefully inch your way upward, step by step.

Unfortunately, the indoor space was too small, and Nobita still couldn’t master skiing. So, Doraemon decided to create better conditions for Nobita—and even stepped in to teach him how to ski himself!

(So, does that mean even Doraemon will be skiing in the future?)

HereGo skiingIf you're heading to the slopes for the first time—and, like Nobita, you’ve got absolutely no natural talent for skiing—my advice is to hire a coach. At least that way, you can be sure you won’t end up taking as spectacularly embarrassing a tumble as Nobita did!

Let's cut the small talk.

Doraemon finally starts teaching Nobita how to ski.

Step 1: Plow Skiing ↓

Of course, I’m sure even a beginner wouldn’t be foolish enough to slide down with their feet turned outward… would they?

However, as you can see from the cartoon↓, Nobita’s main problem is that his center of gravity is too far back and he distributes his weight unevenly between his two feet, causing him to keep falling over while skiing.

So, when he hurried to save himself—and shifted his weight forward—he stopped falling over altogether! However, beginners often struggle to develop this awareness while gliding. The simplest trick? Just press your lower legs against the front of your ski boots’ uppers as you glide—this handy technique effectively keeps your center of gravity from shifting backward. (Tested and proven!)

But! That’s not the point—learning to stop isn’t even the ultimate goal. As a beginner, Nobita never managed to master braking, and in the end, he ended up crashing face-first into the ground on his way home… (I’ve always wondered why Doraemon never taught Nobita how to brake!)

Is braking really that difficult? Of course not—unless you’re still stuck in the same plow-like phase as Nobita. In that case, you can try braking using the plow-style technique.

However, compared to Nobita

His other friends are actually pretty good at skiing.

It seems that if Japanese elementary school students are all skiing at this level on average, then I’d have to literally bow down—on my knees!

It's worth praising—little Fufu has set a great example for everyone ↓

That’s it—don’t forget to warm up before skiing!

I'm sure everyone saw the video recently of the snowboarding girl being chased by a bear in the Japanese mountains (if you haven’t, click here☞)Real or fake? Snowboarder girl chased by a bear while skiing in Japan!) Whether this video is real or fake, bears really do roam near snowy mountains in Japan—something that’s even depicted in anime. While being "chased" by a wild bear is certainly risky, the actual likelihood of encountering one remains relatively low. However, avalanche risks are a completely different story: every year, more than 200 people worldwide lose their lives in avalanches. That’s why mastering avalanche escape techniques is an absolute must for anyone who skis or snowboards!

Let’s first see what Shizuka did when she encountered the avalanche ↓

The editor wants to give Shizuka a big thumbs-up: First, Shizuka evacuated in time and didn’t stay on the path where the avalanche was rolling—so she narrowly escaped disaster. Second, as soon as the avalanche struck, Shizuka immediately rushed to the scene. But knowing full well that she’d struggle alone to rescue Nobita and Jaian, she cleverly called in Doraemon for help. Of course, if you happen to be in Nobita or Jaian’s shoes, it’s time to figure out how to save yourself!

Alright, I've said enough—time to check out the full video now! (With Cantonese, of course!)
