Hi


Hi I'm new. I'm not really a snow person, I'm more a site by the fire and drink hot cocoa with snapps lol. My boyf is into skiing and I'd like to be more supportive. I tried to go skiing last year and hated it. The boots hurt my ankles and I felt like I was going to break my knees. It was really harrowing and I didn't even go down the mountain.

I took a ski lesson once and the teacher just kept yelling at me, even though I didn't totally suck.

So yeah, hi. I guess I have a lot of ski baggage. But maybe hanging out here will help me get over it.

I should introduce you to my wife. You two could drown your sorrows in cocoa together.

Easy solution. Snowboard. More comfy boots, more fun. And try another lesson. No instructor should be yelling at you.
