both my parrents ski, my mom sucks on skis even after about 10 years of it, but my dad's pretty good, especially considdering he's 55, he's a ski patroller though, which has its pros and cons for me.

My old man is a patroller at the local mountains and an old FDNY guy. He's pretty darn good, but not in the shred gnar sense, but in the sense that hes a real technical skier with perfect form and all that. Almost died on an FDNY job and had to go through brain surgery, so now he just wears this big-ass giro gnar.

my father despises skiing and constantly reminds me of the fact that i am far too poor for that "old money" sport... i did see this little girl once though.. and her dad had k2 silencers 07, her mom had k2 missdemeanors also 07, and the little tyke had k2....whatever the almost twin tip is for the kiddies...they also had matching helmets with those spike things coming out the top.. girls had pink and papa had blue they were quite the little k2 bunch.. i only wish i had that luck.

My father used to be a really good skier but hasnt been balls to the wall for years due to him being a stock broker and cannot afford to be off his feet for any amount of time.  My mom on the other hand, skied with donna weinbreck everyday when she was younger.  For any of you who are really young, donna won the gold in the olympic mogul freestyle.  But a few years ago she broke her ankle, tibia, and fibula in an unrelated fall so she isw pretty much starting over.

I sold my girls dad a pair of 185 ARV's and he loves them, they are the softest and fatest pair of skis he's ever had and now he dosn't know what to do with all his old skis and this guys been skiing forever, '70s Vail ski bum like three years after Vail opened,
older dudes are loving the soft twin, keep encourageing them to go for it!
