I wish mine did. I honestly don't have one single friend/family member who skis, makes it tough to learn shit.

That is great. Maybe they could teach some kids on Newschoolers how to wear their bandanas, haha. Also, both of my parents ski. My dad is Brazilian and he still rides everything in the resorts and in the backcountry.

My dad gets like 45+ days in a year. He even rides straight onto boxes which i feel is pretty gnarly for a 55 year old.

The only reason I ski is because my parents ski. 

They're really good and they got me into skiing.  Now they don't mind if I live up there they just think they have to come too. and they're cool with that means they can ski and I can ski and get free food.

My Dad got me into skiing and taught me all that I know. He used to be on the mogul competition circuit. He hasn't skied in a few years, because his shoulder was never reset properly after a car accident. My mom used to ski but has been out the past two years because of knee damage. She'll be out on the slopes this winter.

My sister and I still ski and will ski forever.

my dad fucking rips, he's such a sick skier, like he does nice short turns but i taught him gs turns in the powder and he fucking slays those too. he skis backcountry with me and we ski a lot together, he just can't jump, that's his weakness but he's one of the main people i ski with. my mom and sister are very good skiers also they're just more tentative and they're about grace and not ripping the shit out of a line, but my dad, he rips, i love skiing with him. my grandpa is a great skier too he's just slowing down because he's like almost 70 but still a fitness fanatic, he wakes up at 4 in the morning every day and goes sculling and then goes to the gym
my parents are NOT gapers

My dad rips hard.  He's starting to get into newschool too.  My mom doesn't like anything that involves a possibility of being cold or getting hurt.

well i started skiing in about grade 5, i would go about 20 times a year. Both my parents were into cross country skiing so it would work out perfectly because they would drop me off and go and do there thing. Now a couple years ago my mom was out west for business and on her birthday she tried skiing for the first time. I was sooooo FUCKING JEAlous, i had been riding for 5 years and never skied anything other than Ontario ice and her first time skiing she skis out west. But anyways since then we've been all over the place. Although she only skis about 10 times a year she has my old pair of skis now and she can somewhat keep up with me. As for my pops, he tried it and went back to x-country. But i am glad my family got into skiing with my enthusiasm.

Hahaha, this made me laugh.

My mom used to ski, but she doesn't anymore. We used to go a few times a season when I was really young. I guess it's because of here that I ski. My sister just started skiing again this after a long haiatus. She even came to Switzerland from Nova Scotia to shralp with me.

Both mine do, my mom not very often anymore cus she has arthritus. My dad still does, but he doesn't ski as much since he broke his collar bone a couple years ago. He rips bc still, but he doesn't jump anymore, he was getting pretty good though, I had him doing all of keystone's big line and then he broke himself in freeway. Just how it goes I guess.
