Thanks SkiDiva for letting me part of this group! Here goes my first post...
A bit of background...I'm in my late 40's, took skiing lessons on a local ski hill 2 years ago. It would be considered a bunny hill ( good steepness to it, so not close to being flat at all) Felt comfortable, finshed the classes and then Covid hit. Fast track to now, I've tried an easy green hill, Pakenham hill in Ottawa and was nervous when coming off the chairlift (never fell off...big win for me but ended up doing pizza most of the way down. Then did Blue Mountain on the Graduate hill ( beginner's hill) and same thing...did pizza all the way. I feel that I can't turn because of the fear of the speed I start feeling and lock into pizza. Feeling discouraged that I won't overcome my fear. Also, I'm a solo skier...none of my girlfriends are interested ( got into it to encourage my kids to try it...they are doing blues hills now, which makes me a very proud mom). Anyone take private lessons at Blue Mountain or recommend a place in Ontario? Looking forward to feeling that freeness of going downhill again.
