[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are from Florida and didn’t grow up skiing, but wanted our kids to learn.  We put ourselves into adult private lessons together at the same time the kids went to full day ski school.  It has taken at least five years of doing this before I felt comfortable skiing without an instructor by my side, but now I can happily ski down the slope with my kids (who are better than I am).  We were mid thirties when we did this, so definitely don’t think you are too old!  Just time your instruction with the ski school times.  Your teen might be old enough to be in the same instruction group as you.

My husband never took to it - he had a couple of falls and decided skiing isn’t the sport for him, and he has never liked the cold.  He is content to do work or read in the lounge and will meet us for hot cocoa or lunch when we break.  It was kind of nice because with him lounging around, we never had to deal with lockers and watching our stuff because he minded it all while he relaxed.

Last piece of advice for people who knew nothing about the cold before trying skiing - wool socks and hand/feet warmers inside your gloves and boots!  [/quote]
