I am not going to lie, I am impressed at how good you are for a late bloomer. I tackle some pretty difficult terrain and do moderately well in the park and I started at 13...I think starting at that no fear age, but still capable of doing big stuff turns out well

I dont think so.  Some of them may be, but I know a lot of people who started between 1-2 years old.  I started at 18 months and I have video proof

I'll start my kids that young. If they can walk and comprehend what's going on, it's time for them to go skiing.
