foot's advice is worthy. If you have an opportunity, and the available empty paved area, nothing beats practice.

I would also recommend a professional instructor who has access to a skidpad. Any weather will do. I learned a TON from my time on a skidpad.

Not actually RFN.
But as close as I can manage at present.

Yes, I am indoors.
Yes, it felt that cold.

Went to an '80s party last night.
That's why I am wearing make-up in the post above - I needed to remind myself how to put it on!

Love the pic, btw. Don't your lips get cold? Do you slather them in Sunblock Chapstick or something?

If it were colder, I'd wear a neck warmer that I can pull over my lower face but it was around 30F yesterday. No lipshitz ™ but on a colder day at a bigger mountain with long runs it's a really good idea. We did get in 5+hours of skiing yesterday so I probably should have.
