Was it passed on by skiing parents/friends. Was it something you always wanted?

Went on a PGL 'family activity' holiday with the kids last summer. Did abseiling, canoeing, fencing, climbing, archery... and dry slope skiing! Found it gives the same adrenelin buzz as horse riding, had to have some more, so off to try it for real on Saturday.

School trip, aged 11. Parents never interested either. I was hooked and the same for my brother who is now a snowboard instructor in Whistler. Hoorah for schools! :lol:

Ours was a three day city break to Amsterdam when there was loads of snow and we discovered we were both snow lovers. So set about a winter holiday without the intention to ski at all. But when it came to booking found all inclusive with learn to ski/board. And that was it.........well and truly hooked.

I felt it had defeated me all my life and wondered whether I should or shouldn't.
Once our youngest reached the age of five and I was 36 we took the plunge. The rest is history, I've been obsessed ever since :shock:

For me it was when my kids got lessons on a dry slope and I thought I'd give it a go. That was when they were 7 + 8 years old and now they are 24 and 25. Wish I could say I've managed to ski every season since then. But like caron, I was hooked and still am. Wish I'd learnt at a young age though. :D
