re: Tried skiing today for the first time

I’ve skied probably 5 times in my 30 years on this earth, the biggest thing I learned last time was learning how to fall. I had a buddy who gave my private lessons and I very quickly figured out that if you’re gonna fall it is best to just lean back and fall with your back into the snow. It’s when you fall to the front over your skis that you can get yourself in trouble.

My first day with my buddy was just learning how to turn and fall with grace but by day 2 I was really starting to get the hang of it. I’m hoping to get back out west this year to practice some more and hopefully move up to blues. No shame in taking it easy that’s for sure.
