I Can't Do Downhills

Am I the only one? I love the effects of the sport and I love gliding on long flat groomed trails. My center has a downhill with a turn at the bottom that I can never negotiate. I just ski off straight until I come to a stop, and work my way back to the tracks. Even the straight descent. The track gets obliterated by people using their edge to slow down. My skis end up all over the place. Is it just me? (I'm afraid of the answer. LOL)
