I never understood the appeal of being freezing and careening down a mountain either! A friend had a pretty bad skiing injury in middle school and that pretty much sealed it for me. #nope

Skiing is so expensive. My daughter is on a ski team here in Colorado and she loves it, like my husband. So she’s there every weekend and then there are races. She will probably love it all her life. My husband is obsessed because he grew up skiing. I did not grow up skiing. I could get down a blue by the time. I was an adult, but I still don’t love it. I’m much better now because I’ve been skiing with our family and all three of my kids are good skiers/snowboarders. The bigger risk that I see besides the money – are the knees. I know there are so many people who’ve had knee surgery because of ski skiing. As a mid- life summer runner (way cheaper btw)this now freaks me out. I’m a very Fair-weathered skier and I’m not ashamed to admit it😅.
