Advice for getting started
Watch VideosGo rent some skis, go with some friends that know how to do it. Learn from them, watch what they do. But honestly, if you just start going down the hill, you'll figure out a stop and figure out how to go and then watch some videos and then little by little you'll get better.
The best advice you need for getting started is to know pizza and french fries. Pizza makes you stop, french fries make you go. You're just cute.
What I honestly did was I just rented a pair of skis, got a day pass, and then I went up on a day that I knew no one would be there so I could just fall and learn at my own pace. I feel like when I've taken people to teach them, I almost throw them in the deep end and that's not the best way to learn. So I think going by yourself, learning at your own pace, and just getting the fundamentals, starting on some green bunny hills and then working your way up over time. I think the biggest thing is to stick with it and when you take a hard fall, do another lap. Get that out of your system and just keep moving forward.
To get started you have definitely just got to find a friend or acquaintance or someone who can be patient enough to kind of help you out. I feel like especially in skiing, kind of like any sport, at least for me, the time to learn better than from is like watching someone and like experiencing that rather than just like being told what to do. You can't just like be told what to do and expect to do it, but being able to see someone who is proficient and can help you work through everything will help a lot.
You definitely have got to just be as Aggressive in your skiing as possible obviously not to the point that You're gonna hurt yourself too bad but You know, maybe doing things that you feel a little bit uncomfortable doing pushing yourself getting out of your comfort zone Will help you get better
number one thing you just got to recognize that skis are the best but especially as as you get better as you get more apt in the sport so I'm refer me when I was starting it was like it's kind of rough kind of hard it kind of hurt you know it's like cold your feet hurt with the boots and stuff but somewhere that the more you practice the faster you'll get better and have a greater capacity to have fun so does kind of recognize that you got to be in there somewhat for the long game
