Becoming a casual skier
I don't have the time nor the money to pursue skiiing as a hobby,
ntot to emntion that I am not young ..anymore. I visisted Tahoe in summer (loved it) and winter (the only good part was skiiing - I took intro lesson at the time, 4 years ago and it was fun except that the boot caused me not to finish the whole lesson when I was gettign good at it; that after vowing 10 years earlier to NVER try skiing after seeing someone hurt her knee in an event in the snow). I now live so close to Tahoe that it'd be a bummer not to get up there and view the scenary. My questions are (I am not going to rent boot because I want it to be a perefect fit) - how many lessons - group lesson is all I can afford - would I need before I get good enough to feel like I am skiiing? - how risky is it to get injured? - are there groups (in CA) to join these events on weekends? How do I got about it? Of course, I want to understand about *waxing* and *shaped* and all that. I want pain free experience and so I know that owing a set of skiis and a boto is a must for me. Beyond that what are the expenses involved if I were to go to Heavenly? Remmeber that I need to become good enough and so I am taking about the expenses to become good enough. If it is not feasible for me, I'd rather not get involved at all investing in skis and boots. |
