Also, I will take tips in the bumps from anyone who's willing to offer them...
So far the hardest part for me has been finding trails and conditions suitable for learning.
Oddly enough, I improved the quickest on a glade trail at Snow last year. It forced me to keep my head up and focus 3 - 4 turns ahead. That felt a bit more natural as you do the same when you mountain bike.
Well fortunately I'm not the type that gets easily discouraged... I have fun even when I'm falling all over myself (read: most of the time
)
