For those of you who live in the south, in or near a large metropolitan area, and think a skiing vacation would be fun, but you pass on it because you have no experience, go to the local ice rink and practice skating. (I say large metro area because I'm not sure many ice rinks are found elsewhere in the South.)
The skill translates directly. Gliding, turning, stopping, simply moving forward on flat ground, and balance, it's all you really need to know to skip the bunny hill imho.
