Ski with people better than you. Watch them!

Skinny-skied patroller on the Madonna chair at Smuggs when I asked about tree skiing tips.

Think the best one was to keep the hips level (to the terrain..I think?)..particularly for shorter radius turns.

don't stop your learning at the bottom of the hill. there is plenty to learn on the chair ride up - look down for examples of how and how not to ski well.
