[quote=Anonymous]Paradoxically your boots probably need to be strapped tighter. You want pressure off your feet and to transfer all the movement to the skis. Put your boots on inside so the plastic is warm enough to wrap tight around your ankles. Your skis should be a bit shorter as a beginner. If you rent and mark beginner they should ensure that. Take private lessons on weekdays if possible for a continuous 4-5 day stretch. Find a very wide beginner slope like at whitetail if local. Don’t try to start on narrow trail type runs even if they are greens. You’re actually better off on a wider, slightly steeper run even if it’s a blue as a beginner. Avoid snowshoe as the beginner slope at the top of the mountain is intimidating and uncomfortably windy and cold. Alternatively you could try snowboarding! It’s less steep of an entry learn but harder to really excel at or so I’m told. [/quote]
