I have skied. A few times. And I am NOT good. I've almost died twice and my nieces and nephews had to help me down the mountain both times. So embarrassing.
Skiing is not easy, but it can be fun. And after watching the Olympics those athletes make it look so easy. Maybe you want to get out there and try it. Well, here are some tips for the newbies:
1. You don’t have to rush out and buy ALL the gear.
2. Don’t get your kids involved too young.
3. Dress appropriately.
4. Sign up for a lesson.
5. Set the bar low.
6. Make sure you’re always skiing in control.
7. Keep your weight out in front.
8. Don’t snob out. Make do with what you have around you.
9. And finally, go easy on yourself.
