Hey all, I'm a newbie skier as of last year. Took my first lesson at Loon where I started out with Snowboarding and then said screw this and they offered to let me try a skiing lesson which went 100% better than that snowboarding lesson. Took another lesson after that at my local mountain Powder Ridge in Southington, CT where me (27 at the time) and my 30 year old sister were lumped in a group lesson of never evers who were about 8-10 years old. After not getting any instruction, we talked to someone on the mountain who got us a free private lesson for the two of us which went way better.
My plan was to take another lesson at Stratton when me and bf went in March, but he forgot his gear thinking he wasn't going to board since he didn't feel well and it snowed the day we wanted to get on the mountain that it wasn't feasible for him to buy all new gear since we couldn't really make it to the mountain in his car as the roads weren't plowed.
So if you've read all that, I've only been on skis in snow about 3 times now and I'm still very new to skiing. My plan was to go on another skiing vacation for his birthday this year, but he got sick and is dealing with it at his mom's in Boston so he can get better care while I'm stuck here. I'll probably ask my sister to come skiing with me at a CT mountain when I'm not working at my second job so I can at least get better at skiing and maybe when he's better we can go up to Mount Snow or Okemo.
