It sounds like you ski a lot. I did it once, about 15 years ago, without lessons, at Breckenridge in Colorado. Went with my beachouse crew who all were pretty good skiers. So, the one guy I trusted, said he would teach me. He barely
got me on a lift that looked like we were going to the Everest Base camp 4. After careening out of the lift, wiping out about 4 skiers, the dude said here we go. I looked down the slope and it was like looking off a cliff. Unknown to me we were on a Double Black Diamond, or something like that, essentially an expert only slope. I started down, trying to glide back and forth to not pick up speed. Having never skied in my life, I started going faster and faster, and as a tree line approached all I could think of was Sony Bono killing himself by sking into a tree. So I made myself crash just shy of a large Pine, and had to be rescued off of the mountain. Thus endeth my ski career forever. I spent the rest of the trip sampling fine micro brews in the bars, and smoking bowls in the hot tub. My hip hurt for weeks. So, the point is, never ever trust a friend when it could kill you, and do not attempt a new sporting activity where failure could kill you in a most painful way. Happy skiing...;)
