I started at 2 in Jackson Hole on a family vacation. I still remember the daycare/ski instruction place. Then my parents forced me to go every weekend even though i didnt like it much until i was 5. Now i am in dept to them because it is the love of my life.

Im going to go ahead and call bullshit. Little kids can barely walk at 1 and a half. Im not pulling this out of my ass I have 3 nephews all around that age. They fall over just walking often and your trying to say you went skiing and didnt fall once. Good one hahaha
