This will be my third year ever skiing. Instant love. It was the best decision I have ever made.

I am 15 years of age currently and my parents started me off skiing at the age of 2 or 3. So 12 - 13 years. Roughly 95% of my life.

I wasn't too keen on the idea first, but seeing my buddies who tried longer skis clear the jumps I didn't kind of helped.
