[quote=Anonymous]These sports were invented by people who lived in cold climates.  Even in prehistoric times, they had natural materials that did a decent job of keeping people warm (google Otzi's shoes).

See if you can find a ski club through the YMCA or your school.  If your kid can go with others, you might not have to drive in the snow. Or if your kid has any friends who do it...ask the parents if you can join them on a same day trip when driving conditions are good. I agree with sending your kids to the onsite ski school and lessons.  And you should rent equipment onsite the first few times. That way you can easier exchange anything that's not working (boot size, etc.).

Living in Maryland, your kids don't need to learn these sports.  I learned to ski elsewhere.  As a grownup living in Maryland for 8 years, I went skiing once...a brief weekend to Canaan Valley, WV with my boyfriend.

To my mind, only swimming is essential training.  Because of the safety aspect and greater likelihood of being around water.[/quote]
