The only way to avoid the risk is to stop skiing. But if you learn to manage the fear, you will be left with joy and exhilaration. We want to help you manage the fear. The risk is up to you. To be fair, we recognize that fear is not the only emotion that can interfere with the joy of skiing.
Anger can also ruin a good day.
This is especially true for advanced skiers and racers. If you fit into this category, you know that even though you have learned to love the risk in skiing, you are still susceptible to feelings of impatience and frustration when you are not skiing up to your potential. From the psychological standpoint, you have learned to ski like that. I don't like being angry at myself. I don't like feeling frustrated or afraid.
