FWIW, I just un-blocked some of the people in this thread, using google groups to track down their addresses to find in the blocked list. I wonder how long they will remain un-blocked? In the last few minutes, I already see one who will probably go back on the list, due to his latest post in the other group. It sure would be nice to have a flame-free ski forum. |

"Bob F" wrote: I taught my new girlfriend to ski last winter. She had never been on skis in her life. After half a dozen days, she was skiing blues all over Steven Pass, and doing good looking parallel turns. That was at 62 years old. There's an old couple at Stevens, probably 10-20 years older than that who are snowboarders. They couldn't have learned very young. I started snowboarding in my mid 50's, and then taught it a number of years. Don't let age stop you - with the right instruction, and being in reasonable shape, you should be able to love skiing. Agreed. The new gear and the latest instructional techniques can have you skiing parallel in very short order. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg |
