Teaching a newby to ski.

[Wish]

So I have taught lots of bigginers to ski. Usually very successfully till today. Daughters friend got up just fine after a few tries and was told to keep her arms straight but she kept bending them after she was up starting the process of arms in arms out, in out in out....fall. She is super excited going 50 feet or so. Not sure what other way to tell her to keep the arms straight. Ideas??

Just went through this with my wife - tell her to push her hands down low, push chest out by pinching shoulder blades and bend the knees. Worked right away.
