skied one week a year between ages 3 and 18, then I lived in France for the winters four years in a row after high school graduation and gradually skied more and more offpiste. so I got good at it around 18-19 but started way earlier.

I was 12, it was the height of snowboarding is cool, and skiing is for losers.

I was the only kid in my school learning to ski, and the only loser.
