[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3269596, member: 15054"] That's funny. I went snow skiing 1 time and my thought was if I get on that lift and go to the top of the mountain and ski back down I should have this figured out. NOPE! I did not know how to stop so I just sat down and got a snow enema. I did not know how to turn well. Big turns yea but quick ones no dice. I went up a second and then a third time and the third time I thought get on the other lift and go higher you are bound to get it figured out. I asked 2 gals sitting in the lift with me and my son how do you turn on these. They looked at me sideways and asked how did you get this far not knowing.. I said I crash a lot. They basically said you do little bunny hops to unglue the skies from the snow and rotate the skis the direction you want to go. WOW! That did the trick. But like the video I did not know what the colored symbols were for. I got on some Black because no one was there and it was rough and I did not stay on that stuff for very long. Wife stayed at the bottom of the mountain the entire time and said some guy came down the mountain and everyone was looking and pointing as he came down in a roll looking like a snowball kicking up snow. I told her that was me. On the second trip up the lift and back down. But I had it figured out now. Oh before we went on the ski trip my neighbor told me to ask for really long fast skis. The guy at the rental place asked if I ever skied before I said no but my buddy told me to get some really long and fast skis. The guy got really happy and said I got just what you need. Those things were long and fast. No regrets. I would come into a straightaway off a corner all hunkered down just flying and passing people that are walking carrying their skis. Too much fun.
