How long have you been skiing?

I've went skiing a couple of times as a teen and then took a long break.  I'm 45 now.  Over the past 10 years I've skied a couple of times per season.  I moved to the Vail valley last October and last season I skied 53 days.

This season I hope to continue improving.  I can ski most blue runs confidently, and I can "get down" most black runs. 

I'm not great on the bumps but hoping to get better this year.  I'm not very confident in the deeper powder and would especially like to improve in this area.

I don't really ski the trees much, but I enjoy the back bowls and blue sky basin at Vail.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

Alan
