am i begginer, intermediate or advanced? any good? SKIING QUESTION?
Abc asked:
ok soo i when skiing about a year ago to argentina for the first time with my whole family (me-13, mi brother-12, my sister-7, mum and dad), none of us had ever tried it before. i just wanted to know if i am a begginer, intermediate or advanced. and if im anny good. we took lessons (just to learn how to move, turn not fall) one intructor for the 5 of us. we stayed there for 5 days for 2:30 hours each day. the fist one we didnt really ski just learned how to put them on take them of not fall while moving (wasnt in the mountain just like icy floor) the second one we went to the mountain learned how to move, stop get in and out the chair lift with the skis on, slide turns, we still fell some time, the third day we totally mastered the track (me and my brother, my dad sucked). by the last day we could turn at high speeds without falling stops pretty much everything but jumping (not sure if i ever did carving, no tricks), we could ski in the blue and red ones easily (at least the ones we tried) never tried jumping (maybe we could have land them but never even tried to, we were just having fun, the instructor was to teahc us how not to fall and not getting lost because my parents are kinda overprotective) im going skiing to austria (maybe on july for only one day) and again in january (next year) austria or france. should i trie jumping or doing tricks? (by myself)
ups i should provably mention y can link paralel turns, stop inmediatly (well almost every time i tried i could) i should have explained better, but i didnt know the terms, my english is not that good

you are most defiantly a beginner. and no dont do tricks for another few years you will look like a joey.

you are a beginner, nothing wrong with that though, skiing is fun no matter how good you are!

Yup…you are a beginner. The marked difference between a beginner and intermediate skier is the ability to perform linked, parallel turns on moderate terrain while remaining in control. You should be able to stop immediately when necessary and not have to resort to using a wedge stance to come to a stop.
You sound like you are off to a good start, so keep at it.
Good Luck!

Its totally up to you whether you want to try jumping….it all depends on how confident you are. However I recommend not trying any "tricks". To pull anything off even a grab you have to have some good speed, and it's probably not a good idea for you to be hitting jumps at a high rate of speed. So have fun and don't try anything you don't feel ready for.
