[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3287432, member: 15054"] Angel Fire is the first and only place I have been only been 1 time and it was fun. Never went snow skiing before and it was an experience. stay off the Black marked trails. We stayed at a house off the resort that was awesome. So can't comment on the resort. Plenty of flat good areas to ski and they had a kiddy tube ride. and instructor course. I chose to just get very long fast skis and head up the mountain on the lift and make my way back down and figure it out on my own. 3 trips up and many falls later I was told by some girls how to do it correctly. I asked them on the way up a lift. Basically do a small bunny hop to unload the skis and during this hop you can shift the skis a different direction to change the course of travel. If you just try to lean or push out on the skis you will only be making large turns. 40 acre turns. Those little bunny hops did the trick. The long fast skis were awesome. I was moving super fast coming down the last slope, some girl about 14 years old cut in front of me I had to stop quick or run her over. I did the little bunny hop and planted both skis sideways and shot snow all over her.. it was like a super quick stop. It was dry powder so it just fell to the ground not sticking to her.. She said i did not even see you!! I said my fault I was going really fast and this is my first time to snow ski. She laughed and said you stopped quick for a first time skier. You gotta go man..and go really fast!!! [/QUOTE]
