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?

Remember the pizza and fries. At least in my country during skiing lessons for kids it's called pizza (the snowplow you form with your ski while breaking) and fries (accelerating while standing parallel like fries in a box).
