  • @costomX168 I completely agree, I learned to "pizza" , I ended up going full speed down the mountain all day long with no control and the fear that i was going to die (speed still was thrilling) , i never really learned how to stop, I think the turn stop is prob the best idea for anything other than a baby bunny slope

  • I think you should STOP telling people to use pizza as a way to learn to ski. It does not work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you should tell them to Stand up and look were they want to go. Ski like you walk upright and not like you have to PEEEE going down the hill. If they get in over there head! They will go back to basic's. If they tri to do pizza on a real hill, they are just going to get hurt. If they stand up and turn they will just stop.

  • once i was at hidden valley and was on this thiing called the magic carpet and my ski tips went off and i turned into a ball on the tredmill lift and while my friends laughed at me i was in a lump intill i was able to get off the lift lolz
