He would get to the slopes and he was "looking good". BUT he couldn't ski, he was just "looking good" Looking like you can ski, doesn't actually mean you know how.
I am a skier-not very good-when I was learning a long time ago a fellow skier told me that generally, skiing ability was inversely proportional to the amount of money the skier spent on clothes and equipment!
