i started at 12 when one of my friends familys got my family to go with them to keystone for a ski trip. i had never been west of chicago before, let alone colorado, so i had never seen a REAL mountain before. it was the most amazing place to learn and i became addicted immediately. after my first lesson the ski instructor told me that schoolmarme (a green) might be a little advanced for my first day, but i did it anyway with my friends and after that we hit up paymaster (a blue). considering it was my first day, i did think i did very well.
so to answer your question, i wish i would have been thrown onto skis as a fetus.
started when I was 2, although I don't think I'm as good as I should be (with regards to freestyle). Only started getting into newschool skiing when I was 20 or so even though I knew about it long before that, Also have never done any gymnastics or tramp or anything like that so aerial awareness is almost non-existant hence why i'm a jibber when it comes to hanging in the park.
also skiing only one week a year and a few other days during the Aussie season (and a week or two overseas) doesn't help when it comes to progression
would have loved to got into freestyle as a young teen as most kids on the hill do these days, seeing the talent young kids have is amazing, 7's like nothing.
this is all I wish when it comes to skiing....
