Fun Shoe
Definitely wear a fuckin helmet.

I've skied for most of my life and the leaning thing is definitely super important for that. Looking down a steep slope can be scary but the more you lean the more control you have. The more you lean back the more likely it is that you're going to fall over. The way you want to control your turns is by leaning into them as well, don't try to force the snowboard into doing what you want by using your legs or whatever (I don't know how that would work, but on skis it's a bad idea).

What I do is when I'm on the lift I watch the guys going past who look really good, and basically I just try to physically emulate that with my body when I ski. It's probably easier after having a lot of experience because your muscles already have an idea of what to do, but really your form is a very important part of going fast and not loving up.
