duck into the woods

Duck into the woods is a call to action used by skiers and snowboarders to get off the main ski runs and poach the backcountry of tree skiing. Ducking the rope is often associated with a duck into the woods, as many out of bounds skiing and riding areas are bordered by trees.

The Jackson Hole Air Force would silently duck into the woods to avoid capture by the ski patrol for skiing outside the Jackson Hole Ski Area boundary.

boot-out

In Alpine Skiing a boot-out occurs when the skier lays his or her skis so far over on their edges that the ski boot makes contact with the snow causing the ski edges to lose their edge grip.

Boot-out mostly occurs during a carved ski turn and impacts Alpine skiers far more often than snowboarders.
I had a boot-out on that steep section and my skis shot out from under me.
