give up skis and do snowboard!!

 

My best advice is be prepared to fall....the only way to learn is too fall every 5 feet the first 2-5 times down the hill....then all of a sudden like a miracle you'll get the hang of it....watch other peoples technics, just try to mimic them its like riding a bike or learning to walk, it take a couple tries but once you get the hang of it you'll like it....

I've only been skiiing a few times and I had the hang of it the first time I went, after I fell like 500 times, and if I can do it then ANYONE can...

Oh getting on and off the lifts is the most difficult part in my opinion....

 

from the movie "better off dead", go downhill and if a tree gets in the way.....turn.

or something like that.
