A friend of mine invited me to go skiing, and I decided to go. It was very fun and I may have a new obsession. I'm probably going to go atleast 2 more times this year and just rent.

Hopefully, Ill be able to save enough to get my own gear and a season pass at a independent place nearish to me.

I was doing the shorter blue runs by the end of the day, because my friend was pretty good teacher, but what are some good resources to learning skiing techniques, and what's the best way to get discount gear?

Perfect North! LFG. But in all honesty those people all over the hill with blue coats are the instructors and will normally answer quick questions you might have.

Also take a lesson if you can afford it. The next step is the way to go it's cheaper than a private but the group will be small and you will get sent out with an instructor who's good at helping people at your level.

To learn though PSIA is a professional ski instructor resource but the videos and documents they have will help you learn too.

Last ski swap before the season starts is a good place to find deals.on.last years stuff and used equipment.

Have fun, stay safe.
