Going Skiing.....

[PHATchik]

and I need advice. This will be my first time skiing. It's sad, I've lived a half an hour away from slopes, but I never skied. Any advice for a first time skier besides the obvious "Don't fall and bust your ass"?

usually they'll give you a quick lesson on the basics of skiing... stick with the bunny hill until you are comfortable enough to move on..

Stay in the lodge and drink your ass off

fuck yeah. although I would like to see some snow, for once in my life. living in sunny california all my life, I have not seen one hint of snow, even though snowboarding and other snow sports is pretty big down here...

be sure to go naked....all female first time skiiers are required to do so

Behave yourself Natty.

And actually, I was advised to avoid the bunny slope because it is so crowded. I've been told to try the next slope up. Is this a good idea?

Ok. Here goes.

1. Make sure your boots are just a little tight but comfortable.
2. Make sure your bindings are setup for a beginner
3. make sure you rent shaped beginner skis with lots of "forgiveness", for beginners.

4. Keep in mind the basic maneuver of "snow plowing" and the "schuss"

5. and finally check out www.ifyouski.com, study it, understand it and memorize it.

It's an excellent sport, you will love it more and more as you get better. Be prepared for frightning acceleration. And one last thing, you will be sore in places you did not know you could get sore.

Thanks! I'll definitely check the web site out. I want to hopefully be prepared for this.

I have a friend who's a pro snow-boarder. He just tells people not to do anything stupid, and not to be afraid of falling down.

If you need help warming up after a cold day on the slopes, lemmie know.
