That sounds just like the advice a ski instructor gave me to ski moguls.

"Don't look at what's immediatley in front of you. Look at whats coming! Let your peripheral vision work for you!"

Skiing???? OMG! Dave is still sporting a fine bruise over twenty years later as he tried to kill me a year or so after we started dating. When you go skiing with someone and they ask you to "Come on up and see the view" ... uh, don't. Especially when it's at the top of a very tall and large snowpacked mountain and there are few safe ways down. Having only been skiing twice (this was the second time and the first was when I was ten), I crashed getting out of the chairlift. Disentangled skis, poles, and me, got up, shook off about 50# of snow, looked up at Dave while giving a thumbs-up, and promptly got creamed by the next chair's occupants. Stood up again and got the hell out of there all the while Dave is just falling all over his bad self laughing like hell. After taking one short look off of the biggest cliff imaginable, I told him to "view this" and held out a single digit before starting back down the mountain. By the time I got down to the lodge, I think I actually learned how to ski ... sort of.

I'm a lot better now ...
