I think you are on the right track, but your cinematography could use some work. Think about how you could have improved those tree scenes. In professional edits a lot of times a clip will consist of one part of one turn. You could have done some really dynamic follow cams, shorten up your clips, don't just stand there like a Jerry and let your friends ski past you it's not going to turn out well. Also don't just automatically include a shot because you filmed it, a random eject or other bullshit probably isn't edit worthy.
Awesome edit. You should try and get control of your arms and poles more and start doing some pole plants. Dont just swing your arms around while making turns. The guy in the red jacket skiing at the 1-minute mark has got that down. Just follow what he does.
VailValleySkierCasey is right about the clips being to long for what the are. You only want the pure bliss moments, not the entire clips.
As for advice on getting better at skiing, I'd say learning to pole plant would be a great place to start.
Okay. Thanks. Hopefully will get more clips next year, and it's my first year skiing at this resort and really first time experiencing real powder too, so hopefully next year I'll have powder days to improve.

Why thank you. I am the guy in red. My friend was the filmer and he had unused footage on his server so I decided to download it and make a quick edit. I didn't download any footage of the guy who filmed it skiing unfortunately so I'll have to find more footage of him
