slo's Wednesday poll - Skiing

[pperfectmom]

I answered "other" because I like to snowboard even though my bones are way too old and I s**k at it. DH is a good skier, but when he took me to Canada we decided to try snowboarding. Of course he was immediately good at it. I've only been a couple of times and still can't get off the lift without falling down but I do want to go again. I love, love, love snow and we never get any anymore(darned global warming!). I do have to admit that I liked tubing better because you don't hurt when you're done. As soon as the kids are old enough we will start going again.

I came from a family of skiers. We had a house in Tahoe and went almost every weekend. I didn't like it then and I would be very happy to never see snow again. I like it warm.

It's been years since I've been, but I LOVE to ski! First went when I was like 4 or 5 or something. Ski club in high school, ski team (the "B" team, anyone can be on it) in college. I tried snowboarding, but can't seem to get off the bunny slopes. DH makes fun of me b/c I said I'm going back to skiing. He calls me a "2 planker" and says that he can't associate with me on the slopes anymore. Hey, I can't help it if I'm "boardingly challenged"...stick to what you know, right?

My husband and kids love it so do my parents and brothers-but it's not for me. I always felt like Frankenstein in the ski boots,also I don't love wind-chapped skin

I have 3 compressed verebrae/discs in my back so I can't ski but DH and DSs ski every year. It is their quality time and they get to meet people from around the world up on the Mountain.

I used to love skiing. Sadly I hyperextended my knee one winter while skiing. Last time I tried to ski, my knee wasn't strong enough to handle it. Haven't done it in over 10 years

I don't like being cold, I have no coordination, and my tolerance for pain due to injuries is very low. I don't really even like the outdoors. I'm pretty sure I'm no candidate for skiing.

I went skiing 1 time and I hated it - and I mean hated it!!!!

I am in total agreement with this. No desire to ever go again
