What Makes An Expert Skier?

It is not speed, carving or steep terrain. Expert skiers adapt - every run, every condition, every mountain.

What does an expert skier look like? For many people the answer is obvious: someone skiing incredibly fast, making huge carving angles, skiing black pistes, powder, cliffs or moguls.

Those things can demonstrate skill, but none of them defines expertise on its own. For me, one of the clearest signs of an expert skier is adaptability.
