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. -- Marty |
