Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I always wanted to ski as a kid and never really had much opportunity. I watched Ski Sunday devoutly every week, and when my school announced there would be a spring ski trip to Austria, I signed up for a paper round at the local newsagent and saved enough money for the trip! That was when I was ~14 or so. I loved it! Sadly that was the end of my skiing childhood, as I didn't have another chance to go on a school trip again and our family holidays were usually spent in south-west England (not a lot of snow there!).
I moved to Las Vegas in 2002, and discovered that there is actually a ski hill nearby (Mt. Charleston). Hubby announced he hated snow and never wanted to try skiing again after the one day he went with his uncle as a kid, but I did convince him to try snowboarding one year as my birthday treat. We both loved it and took a few short trips to Utah to snowboard. In 2010 we had the opportunity to move to the Tahoe area and jumped on it... the first thing we did when we got here was buy 2 passes to Heavenly. At some point in there I decided to try skiing again as I was never really very good at snowboarding, and something just clicked. Now here I am 2 seasons later ripping up the black runs and having a jolly good time doing it
