Skiing

Is it hard? Never been before and I'm sure you bros have shredded some mountains before.

How will you squeeze it in with your other activities?

So the chick likes skiing, huh?

Take up snowboarding. Easier to master. Though the first few times will be tougher.

How old are you? Skiing is not hard. Skiing well is hard. If you are athletic you will pick up the basics rather quickly. Getting to level 1 and then 2 wont be that hard. Getting from 2 to 3 may never happen. Depending on how much time, $$ and effort you want to invest. Do you want to hang out on blue groomers all day and have a few pops in the lodge every couple hours or do you want to shred the glades on the back of the mountain? Either way its a great way to spend a few weekends a winter

I've done both. Learning curve is way tougher boarding. I respect skiers but would never go back. I think you need to be more athletic to board personally. Even at my advanced age I think boarding is cooler. Maybe I'm a dork. Either way the equipment is going to put a dent in this month's trust fund distribution.

Thanks for replying anyways, Bob. Always good to hear you're doing well. +1!

22. All I'm asking is to ski, like stay up without being miserable on a fucking mountain. I think it's going to be Mount Killington in Vermont. This is a one time thing so I'm just trying to survive the trip. I'm fairly athletic so I think I should be OK. Lots of pops, etc, in the lodge. I don't think I've ever done this type of thing so I have no idea what to expect.

Make sure you start the day with a lesson. Don't let your friends teach you.

Exactly. They'll be all "dude, it's super easy just do this." then you'll break your fucking arm. Spend the 50 bucks or whatever on a lesson to start.

2 out of 3 of those should be no problem for OTPT

One time thing, just want to stay up = skiing.
