Talk about an open question... "good skiing" is anything that sends you home with a smile on your face!
That could be anything from making your first turn on an almost flat slope to making your first turn in waist-deep powder. It can be looking back up your first Black Run and thinking "YES, I did that", or cruising miles in Spring sunshine from a coffee in one pretty village to a lazy lunch in the next.
Even riding the first lift up in the morning and humming the theme to 2001 with your mates as the sun breaks over the mountains... 8)
For a taster, have a browse in the forum and see what pushes the buttons of some of our regular posters; some very different people doing some very different things :-
- Read Pavelski's posts for some great tales and one man's Zen of Ski.
- Check Trencher's carving videos (don't try this on your first day).
- Browse ise's blog for great views and a wilder side.
So little time, so many mountains... enjoy.
