[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to digress, but your kids might like (or do better with) snowboarding. You might surprise yourself, too, with a board rather than skiis. YMMV.[/quote] NP and longtime skier, I looked into snowboarding and saw that broken wrists were a common injury. Pass for this office worker. But just as a vote of encouragement to OP, my dad (6’3” btw) learned to ski with us kids in his 40s[/quote] What I read somewhere is that snowboarders get more injuries than skiers but they are injuries that are relatively easy to recover from but skiers are more likely to permanently damaged their knees. No idea if that is true but it makes sense to me intuitively as a skier. I also think it takes less time to be an intermediate snowboarder vs skier. And I say that as a hard core skier who goes to Deer Valley and Alta just to avoid snowboarders. Whatever you decide, hope you have fun OP!!![/quote]
