Hey Divas,
My youngest brother is turning 16 on the 16th and for his present, my husband and I are going to teach him how to ski. We're going to throw him in a lesson first thing in the morning and then spend the rest of the day skiing together. He's never been on skis and I really want this to be a fun experience for him. I also learned at 16 and it was kind of a disaster (high school ski trip to Stowe, girlfriends let me go down the bunny hill like twice and then brought me up to the top of Toll Road, I had to be rescued by the Spanish teacher haha). It somehow didn't me put off skiing, but I definitely don't want the same experience for him. We're going to Ski Butternut in MA and figured we'd spend as long as he wants on the bunny hill and then progress up to the longer greens.
For those that have helped a teenager learn to ski, what did you find helpful? Or what has your teenager said helped them that first day out?
