RE: First time on skis!
It is a blast. When taxiing, keep full up elevator to keep the tail on the ground, but don't taxi fast. It can ground loop. Get in the habbit of giving right rudder as you increase throttle so it doesn't turn left. There are 4 factors making it turn left so it will do it. There is no friction from the nose gear to stop it, so you notice it more.
It is a blast. Touch and goes in the powder is second only to touch and goes on a glassy lake! Way cool. [8D]
