  • Sod that, typical gung-ho alpha male nonsense. Of course the snow condition matters for a beginner. It's not everything though, I give you that, but it matters.

    Reminds me of my sailing instructor telling me to "man up" when it was too windy to race. Still can't stand the man. His attitude did me zero good.

    Can you explain why? I just can't see how snow conditions on a gentle slope affect a beginner to the point that it is notably harder to learn how to ski. Strikes me a bit like a cyclist saying they can't get up a hill without stopping because they've got the wrong casette on.

    Also, whats alpha male about that opinion? For what its worth, i've never had a male ski instructor.
