How to learn to ski
It made me
Rejuvinated!
 "Learning to ski was a little intimidating but really exilerating and tons of fun!"
How I did it: I went to a ski lodge in vermont and took lessons! The instructors there were really fabulous and helpful and it was a really great price. $179 for four lessons, two days of rentals, and a lift tickets for the lower lifts (since you won't be needing upper lift tickets if you're just learning!) Lessons & tips: It's all about balance and not rushing into it too fast. Resources: I learned at Okemo Mountain in Vermont and they were super helpful. They're on the web and you can contact them by phone.

Sore, but happy
How I did it: My fear of heights made this one particularly difficult. At 22, I'd never skied before. I had a great, patient friend teach me-- He'd been skiing since he was small. I had a hard time with the stopping and turning and I'm sure I looked like a fool. It was a blast learning how, despite all the 8-yr olds flying past me with crazy skills. Read how I did it…

I just want to learn this. I can snowboard but I can’t ski.
And I don’t even like snow.

I’ve put this on my list so I don’t forget this goal, but with a young baby I can’t see this one happening for another year or so at least. Or until he is old enough to ski too. How old is that anyway?

So that I could learn how to ski. But once vacation time rolled around we always decided on somewhere warm or tropical instead of to a place with lots of snow. If I can talk my husband into it. We will go!!!

I would like to learn to ski but worry because my knees are very bad. I wonder if that will put too much stress on them, but I would love to go on a brisk winter day and try to ski on a little hill to start.

alright, there’s a difference between the initial learning to ski and the getting good at it part. If I can ski without injuring myself when I go to Europe later this month, I will count that as a success!

My ankle has been giving out every time I go up…Got new ankle brace and heel lifts, tho…maybe that will help. Trying to decide whether to go again or to save up my ankle so I can ski in France on vacation in two weeks…hmm…

Season One
9 months ago
I got my Mt Hood Meadows season pass and have been up about 15 times so far this year. I’ve rearranged my schedule so that I have Tuesdays off to go up. So far I’ve managed to be comfortable on these runs: Buttercup, T-Bar Hill, Mitchell Creek (and its offshoots), Mitchell Creek Boulevard (including the gap jump – woo hoo!), Vista Ridge, and now North Canyon. If only my ankle would quit giving out….
