You'll know when you get to that point where your equipment is holding
you back. You'll also want to learn how to maintain your equipment
(base, edges, wax, etc). Start with your boots. Do they really fit
you well? And I don't mean - are they comfy?

Take a lesson. Some places do NASTAR clinics - you'll learn tons in
one day. Not sure how good a skier you are, but, what you learn in one
day could keep you busy for two seasons just getting those drills down.

Good luck, have fun, and welcome to the sport or ski racing.
