Man: She's not very good. She only did three revolutions and her air wasn't all that much. Woman: Well, you sure are an expert for a guy who can't ski from here to the refrigerator without falling down.
Well, when I was a teenager I threw my knee out bowling (my kneecaps are built slightly wrong). I can handle ice skates reasonably well, but if you put me on skis my legs would snap in half like toothpicks.
I can’t see myself trying downhill skiing or ski jumping, but I’d certainly have a go at the real thing (a.k.a. cross-country skiing), after how much I enjoyed snowshoeing.
Skiing down a sensible slope isn’t that hard. Now Cross Country: that’s pretty difficult if you don’t want to wear yourself out getting next to nowhere. Quite a bit of technique involved if you want to do it efficiently.
Back to topic: why would one need to be an expert practicioner to notice someone doing poorly with reference to his/her competition?

Strapping barrel slats to one’s feet and throwing oneself down a mountain is my definition of insanity.

I don´t like skiing. I would rather break an arm. Which would likely be the result, if I tried.
