love it more every time I'm out. It's cool to be learning a sport again, I can actually feel myself getting better with every run, whereas with snowboarding I'm at the point where I'm just too much of a pussy to try bigger tricks (although I will be bringing the board out every powder day, that won't change)

day 6 update: I know what shin bang feels like now, and I fucking hate it

started skiing when I was about 2 or so. Can't really remember, I know my parents told me I could ski before I could walk though. I took up snowboarding around 15 because I thought it was cooler at the time. Then a few years later I was in class and saw someone on NS and I was like WOW skiing has progressed a lot, and that was the day I decided I was and always will be a skier instead of a snowboarder. First set of true twintips I bought were the line twelvesixties(image below).

I used to snowboard here and there but never tried skiing. Went on my first ski trip about a month ago with a buddy of mine and I've been hooked ever since. Went out and bought my own gear and already taught myself some 180s, 360s, and riding switch. I really enjoy the feeling
I get from skiing and I'm glad I picked it up.
