jakelewiskiI'll trade you school skills for ski skills
jontrvnIt really depends on the person. For me, I'm guessing it was after my 3rd or 4th day. Yesterday was my 8th day skiing ever (no prior experience) and by now I'm doing double black when the snow's good and blacks because they're the most fun (bombing blues and greens are hella fun tho). I'm still shitty on parks but I'm learning (popping onto rails and starting grabs on jumps and stuff). Supposedly based on a couple dudes that were following behind on me, I'm "smooth AF" but that's pretty debatable since I got no vid. But basically, fuck the shit I just said. It depends on your friend's mindset and possibly athletic talent. Put in good time, be in shape, and stay optimistic and determined. I'm 15 so age might play in a bit but don't let that determine your shit. // checking in from The Hood (Mt. Hood, Or).
hemlockjibber8I've been skiing for 26 years and have been progressively getting worse so I think it happens the other way around. How long does it take to be terrible at skiing?
MinggMy homie snowboards(really well actually) but most of her friends ski and she wants to learn how to too. I guess, how long does it take to hold your own on the hill? I would say about a couple weeks to a month till you can ski confidently(especially since she can snowboard) but I learned as a child so I couldn't really give a good time estimate.

SourSteezleTrying not to call BS on this because it's possible, but if you're no able to pop onto rails or do a grab I'd be surprised if you're doing double backflips and landing them. Have a video of this? If so-- super impressed but you got some serious balls if you're hucking those without the comfort of popping onto rails

MinggLike being able to carve decently down the hill in a reasonable amount of time and capable of riding through park with people and maaaaybe hitting small features. I don't know what her exact goals were when we discussed this, but I think she really just wants to be able to ski with us haha.

Scotty_BHonestly depends on balance and natural talent but I would say like two seasons.
It's the carving that's the hardest part to learn and teach.
Profahoben_212There is such an unbelievable amount that goes into skiing. You are absolutely never done learning and improving. Even the top racers. Always something more to tweak/change
MinggAsking for a friend.
