• First, the pair had to get proper ski boots and make sure they knew the proper "ski swagger." 

• Hoda had just a bit of difficulty getting off the chairlift. 

• The pair learned the "pizza" technique for controlling their speed. 

• Gus made the "executive decision" to put Savannah on his back for a ride down the hill.
