[quote=Anonymous]It's not for everyone. I tried in my early 20s and hated it. Came back to it a few years later and loved it. I'm a perpetual intermediate. I'll never push myself any further, because I'm afraid of getting injured. But I have come a long way and easy skiing on a beautiful day makes me really happy. A couple of things: 1.) I got a lot more fit between my first time and my second time. Even things like getting across the flat snow to the lift were easier the second time I tried, because I was stronger and fitter. Getting off the lift? MUCH easier when I was stronger. 2.) You might need to size up on the boots and down on the skis. Try going during a weekday, when the rental workers aren't too busy. They could help you try a couple of different sizes. 3.) Take a lesson. It will really help! [/quote]
