[quote=Anonymous]I love to ski.  My family loves to ski.  We travel to the West to ski twice a year in addition to skiing locally in WV many weekends.  We got our 7 year old skiing really early, so now he can ski everything we do, including double black diamonds in the West.  It is the one activity that I can say is pure joy to do with my son. We love to do it as a family.

If you have only skied in NE, I understand why you don't like it. Skiing in NE is different than skiing out West.  It is cold out West but it feels different. The snow  is easier to ski on because it isn't icy.  There are more days with lots of sunshine which makes it feel warmer.  Yes, it is cold but with the right clothing it doesn't feel like it's too cold.

Once you reach a certain ski level, it isn't as tiring.  I remember when I was first starting out, I would be exhausted by lunchtime.  My skill improved which results in less effort all around.

I've played golf for years too.  I, personally, don't like it as much.  I think playing golf with any proficiency that you don't piss off others on the course is more difficult than skiing.  Around here, it is difficult to get a tee time and the courses are crowded.  I used to play with my husband and we used to get paired with twosomes of men and lots of them were barely civil when they saw they were playing with me.

If you don't get skiing, that's fine.  No one is forcing you to go.  I don't get renting beach houses in the summer for a week.  How boring can you get?  Everyone likes different things.[/quote]
