[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 10192597, member: 51947"] First time I went skiing was back in March of '02. I just bought some bibs here in Wichita, used my sunglasses, gloves and my Starter coat which had a removable hood and was damn near perfect. I wore a stocking cap the first day only. After that just wore a visor with sunglasses. As silly as it may sound, learn "how to fall". Because you will, alot. My first day I ended up "yard selling" a dozen times because I kept wanting to put more weight on my inboard ski, like to do a 90° stop on iceskates. On Skis you put your weight on the downhill ski instead. It took me a few days to remember. I went skiing for 5 days, and by my forth day was doing double diamond blacks, skijumps and the halfpipe they had set up Loveland that year, I was no X-games contestant and looked like an idiot, but had a blast. If you start to fall, go limp and you wont hurt as badly in the evening. The hot tub was a lifesaver. My brother-in-law's parrents have a nice condo in the mountains, just can't remember exactly where, but want to say it's either Vail or Breckenridge right on a slope. Reading this reminds me need to hit them up and see if they will let me stay there, especially after all the help I've done for them. And I'll be in Lakewood over X-mas, where my sister lives anyway. So I'd might as well stay another week over new years skiing. [/QUOTE]
