Since my husband loves to ski and I don't, I agreed to take lessons with our kids at the Adventure Ski & Snowboard School. I really had no interest in it, but he loves it so much, I agreed to the lessons. What I thought was going to be a chore actually turned out to be a lot of fun. My kids were able to take their lessons together and I had my own lesson. I had no idea how they could teach you how to ski at their facility, but they put you in skis and have you practice skills down a carpeted slope. Ingenious! Even though I was a klutz at first (it's amazing how awkward you feel in skis), it was fun! I felt like I accomplished a lot so by the time we actually hit the slopes the scared feeling I had wasn't as bad as it could have been. I still fell a few times, but after wiping out the 3rd time, I got it and remained up the rest of the day!
