That's the plan!We'll always suck. Hopefully suck a little less with each iteration.
Sometimes I wish I had been issued the "good enough" gene.
Nah!

I need to suck at a higher elevation. It's been more than 20 years since I've skied above 6,000'I thought the goal was to suck at a higher level?

Come to Taos. It's real easy to suck here.
I started dirt biking a couple summers ago
Pretty sure I sucked a lot less on 30 something year old legs
Hang in there. You can do this.This has been an interesting read for me, as I am post-50 but have been skiing for almost 50 years. Didn't ever give it too much thought, it just WAS. Had a gimpy leg past few seasons, which ate into my confidence, and then a knee replacement last summer. Skiing this year has been a revelation. Most stuff is great, because I am pain-free for the first time in forever -- but the scary stuff really scares me. I never used to get scared. So I can relate to the fears of not exactly knowing if you can turn or stop in time. (I started dirt biking a couple summers ago, same thing.) Part of it is not wanting to spend another few months rehabbing, but I don't know, it's like my brain is just different now. I hope my mojo returns, but if it doesn't, that's ok too.
Also, the things that have panicked me ... well, they probably should have panicked me. Low visibility and fast snow in unfamiliar places, chutes at Bridger Bowl, other no-fall terrain, ok, yeah, 97% of skiers are never even going there. But I don't really like where my brain is.
Sucking less is the same as sucking at a higher level.
The ultimate goal is...

If it makes you feel any better, I rode on the track and Street for five years then tried dirt biking and it was a whole different style! So you're probably going great it just seems bad.Right? So it’s my own damn fault if I am scaring myself!
