The only skills you could master before getting to the bear would be One-Handed, Two-Handed, Sneak and most, if not all, within the school of magic. You could not master Archery, Heavy/Light Armor or any of the other skills. I got to level 50 in One/Two-Handed and Destruction (level 18 overall) but got bored & decided to move on. Before I began the Bleakfalls Barrow mission, on the path leading up, I got my Sneak to 90 by rubber-banding my stick down & crouch-walking into the cliffside.
