I started at 49 after marrying my lovely wife who had skied since a child ...I hated the idea but said I will give it my best go and if I give up then dont blame me..
First trip to austria was a nightmare but strangely liked it..
second trip to whistler.. GOT LESSONS..
things got better..
last trip to andorra lessons again and can actually do it..
love it ..hooked .. never thought I would be a skier
How did every-one start skiing?

Have you wiped out your memories of your Bulgaria trip (broken) SCAPULA! :mrgreen:
That's fab. Wish my OH would give it another go. He took some lessons on a dry slope and was doing really well then we had a day at Glencoe. He fell over many times and then said he had no desire to ever do that again...............shame :(

Pablo. He was really doing so well, but after going through the picket fence at Glencoe, he took the skis off and never put them on again. That was about 7 years ago. I have just given up thinking he will ever try again.

You should suggest again, no harm in trying! At least make him go over and watch you..
