I ski with friends and family often and have no problem complimenting them or giving them a tip if I know they like hearing that sort of thing. Others in our group I wont say anything to unless they ask or talk about their technique. I also dont mind hearing constructive criticism about my technique either.

I agree with the coach mentality on npt being able to walk the walk. Who cares? If it can help me than I think its all good.

I give people unsolicited advice all the time, it usually doesn't make any sense though.

So, are you comfortable giving advice to people while skiing? If so, do you do it unsolicited or only if asked. And if you were to recieve some advice from someone online, then find out, or already know, that person can't walk their own talk, do you percieve them differently? Does it matter? If someone knows how to explain something, yet cant do it themselves, does that diminish the advice? Can i start a thread with more questions in the initial post?
