I’m (finally) returning to skiing after 25 years. I’m 48 now, and took my only lesson at age 12. From there was self taught. At the point I stopped skiing (thanks to a move to Texas, as well as a couple of kids), I could ski just about anything in Southern California. So basically, a Colorado bunny slope! It wasn’t pretty, and the fundamentals sucked, I’m sure, but I could get down without falling.
Flash forward to now, the little kids are grown and gone, and we just bought a condo near Keystone, CO. I also bought a season pass and did a season rental on skis. My intention is to do a lot of 2-3 hour ski sessions, rather than subject myself to long days without being in ski shape.
Here’s my question... should I start with a beginner lesson, or would an intermediate lesson be more appropriate? I’m also not opposed to doing both. Also, would it be worth skiing a few hours prior to the first lesson to get my skis back under me?
Thanks for any and all advice!
