Teaching yourself may seem like the cheapest idea but can lead to sever injury's, not only for yourself but to others on the hill. Lessons are a faster way to learn so you can master more of the mountain to truly gain maximum enjoyment from the sport. Self taught results in picking up bad habits as you struggle figuring out how to get down the hill.
