How to learn to skii
It made me
fearless 
"I fell on my butt, a lot."
How I did it: My ex-boyfriend's friend has a cabin in Vermont, so we went up one weekend to skii and snowboard. We went to Stratton Mountain and hit the bunny slope. Needless to say, I fell...a lot. But my biggest obstacle wasn't falling; it was figuring out how to get back up. I couldn't figure out to upright myself without crossing my skiis and falling a second time!
Lessons & tips: Don't be afraid to fall. And when you do fall, because you will, fall backwards on your posterior. Never break your fall with your wrists (this will break your wrists).
Also, don't forget the pizza technique - make the shape of a pizza with your skiis to slow down!
