The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends themselves in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if they fail, at least fails while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

My rule of thumb—only give feedback if someone directly asks for it—even then, I am sensitive to the person’s background and their tightly-held ‘truths’ about skiing. Further, the better one is at actually doing the stuff they preach—the better it will be received.
jbotti wrote:Another way to say some of this is instead of needing and wanting validation for the skiing path the we have all chosen, let your skiing do the talking. If your skiing isn't at that level yet (where its painfully obvious that you have skills that most don't possess), then just work harder on your skiing!!
