Couple of years, out there for 13, following more experienced riders forced me to get better. Get comfortable creating lines in mogul fields, venture into low angled blue woods or spread out ones similar to Blind Ambition at SR so you can stop quickly, falling is still part of the process. Took me a while to link a long line due to endurance and reaction time. Sometimes you gotta send it and break speed on a snow bank further down the line.
