If you know you’re not an Intermediate skier still, but aren’t quite confident enough to call yourself an expert, then chances are this is you. Some certainly will, but if off-trail skiing becomes your preference, chances are you’ve graduated to the next level.Īdvanced: This might be one of the hardest groups to identify. Most intermediate skiers will be tempted to wander off trail, but may not be brave enough quite yet. You’re likely still pretty cautious in regards to your speed, but are able to stop on demand and have a bit more confidence that you’ll make it to the bottom in one piece. Rather than snowplow your way down blue squares, you’re able to use the shape of your skis to make parabolic or carving turns. Intermediate: Congratulations! You’ve made it to the next level in skiing. Turns will be slow and steady, and at the end of your time as a beginner, you’ll be starting to tip your skis to turn rather than pushing yourself to turn with your heels.
Skill wise, you’ll be able to control your speed with snowplowing, wedging, or forming a “pizza”. Chances are if you’re the type of skier who typically skis with a “ski-mentor” or a friend who’s job it is to get you down the mountain.
Beginner skiers are classified as people who have never ever skied, right up to those just starting to dabble in Intermediate trails. Rules of Thumb: Adults: Between Chin and Eyebrows Kids: Between Chest and Chin Heightīeginner: Chances are you’ll know if this is you.

Rustlers (1949) is a very entertaining B-western. Sadly, Lois died at the young age of 44 from lung cancer. They were the parents of actor Kevin Brodie.
Lois Andrews plays Trixie Fontaine, she was married to Steve Brodie (who plays Mort Wheeler) when "Rustlers" was made. In 1959 she would be nominated for a best supporting actress academy award for her role in "Some Came Running." Martha deserved to win for her performance in that film.
THE RUSTLER MOVIE
Martha played in numerous B-westerns during her early movie career. She looks really good in her cowboy hat and boots. Young brunette Martha Hyer plays Ruth Abbott as a young lady who wears men's clothes and a six gun. The script is good, the dialogue believable, and the background scenery makes the viewer wish that the movie was in color. Ranch owner Frank Abbott (Addison Richards) and his daughter Ruth (Martha Hyer) are victims of the rustlers. Saloon singer Trixie Fontaine (Lois Andrews) is with the good guys. The leaders of the gang are saloon owner Brad Carew (Frank Fenton) and his henchman Mort Wheeler (Steve Brodie). The rustlers steal cattle and then ransom them back to the owners. Cowboys Dick McBride (Tim Holt) and Chito Rafferty (Richard Martin) wander into the middle of a rustling racket. I am watching Rustlers (1949) on TCM right now.
