(My husband is proof of this: he learned in Australia, where the skiing is even more of an ice-fest, and it only took him a few hours to figure out how to bomb down powder runs. Whereas if you put me on ice slopes, I think it'd take months or more before I got comfortable skiing them (despite my figure skating expertise!).

Skiing in the west (in nice soft forgiving snow!) is way easier than the east, where I'm told the slopes often feature bulletproof ice: great for comedic disasters, not so great for learning. :P In any case, glad you liked the pics!
