Skiing/Snowboarding

Teaching kids to ski is great. There are way to many people that sit inside all winter and pout about the cold.

I'm forced to watch videos just about every christmas of me learning to ski. For some reason my parents thought it was ok to leash me to one of them and put me in a helmet so large I couldn't keep my head up. No pizza here, I stared straight down at my day-glo Rad Dogs and went for it. Probably a good thing there was a leash and an oversized helmet. My wife enjoys the videos a lot more than I do...

Skied since I was stationed in Colorado in the USAF. Decided after my enlistment was up I'd become a ski bumb. Well went to college first, then learned a trade, then after some years effectively became a ski bumb for 4 years. Loved it, we still go to Lake Tahoe a couple time a year if the snow's good. Enjoy teaching your kid to ski, can't wait until my son can ski. Taught my daughter last year!
