I'd suggest a lesson or two. You can only teach yourself so much, but there are certain things an instructor is trained to look for - for example, we are trained to check the position of your hands when holding the poles. This helps improve balance and prevent life-threatening injuries. We are also trained to check your boots and make sure you have the right size and have them on tight enough. We are also trained to help you feel the balance of your weight. There are certain tricks and tools we use to help people improvew themselves.
Most lessons, at a small ski area, will cost you around $60-$100 with rentals. I'd suggest a rpivate lesson, as then the instructor will be able to provide better 1-on-1 feedback.

If your serious,lessons.Do not have the person you plan on sleeping with that night teach you!!Otherwise,rent Demo skies,not the off the rack junk.Now go mid-week when the crowds are gone and the snow will be much easier.Now the obvious,ski easy trails.You will learn nothing but bad habits if all you are doing is trying to survive.Take it easy and enjoy.
most important..balance.When you are skiing you must be centered.What this means is that you should be in a natural,upright stance.You should be standing the same as you would if you were not wearing skis,NO leaning back.
remember that recreational skiing is just that..FUN..lower you expectations and giggle like a kid on a snow day off from school

Take a half day lesson for two days. I've worked at a ski resort and it definitly helps. Also, know your limits and stay on the trails you know you can do and practice your form. Once you've mastered the trail, move up to the next level.

as a former certified PSIA instructor, i'd have to recommend taking a lesson. there are different lessons offered for all sorts of levels.
once you have mastered some good technique and form, then my suggestion is to go more often with people who are better than you. by forcing yourself to keep up with them, you may naturally better your technique.

What they said....every time you go, buy a lift ticket/lesson package. Spend an hour or hour and a half in a lesson, and you'll have a much better time!

i replace into raised in a non-denominational church. i be responsive to what i've got confidence approximately necessary doctrines of the religion, and that i've got wrestled by many others. i think of i be responsive to which denomination i might in superb condition into if I have been to connect a "denominational" church. yet for now I proceed to attend the church i replace into raised in using good Christian community i locate there. various years in the past my sister grew to alter into "denominational," so i began out exploring her denomination in-intensity. We agreed on quite some issues...yet we additionally disagreed on specific doctrinal matters that have been significant to me, issues which i've got confidence to be Biblical, even although we are the two sisters in Christ. So, although i could quicker or later connect a church it particularly is a denomination, i don't think of i will ever think of of myself as Baptist, Methodist, or Lutheran. i'm a Christian. i'm a follower of Christ.
