Two Plank'en it.
Last Monday and Tuesday, I went skiing for the first time. At first, Sarah was teaching me, but being as it was only her second time on skis, it was slow going. The next day, my friend Wes, who's a ski instructor, spent a couple hours with Sarah and I showing us the ropes (or the slopes). After just a little while, I was doing tentative parallel turns. I even successfully made it down a blue run. Sarah did awesome herself and was really excited about the opportunity to get instruction. I still like snowboarding more, but skiing presents a new challenge which has its own benefits, especially in mountaineering.Posted by wonko at November 26, 2002 02:42 AM

I don't find skiing much of a challenge at all, having done it once. But, I do agree that it does open new areas in which to explore, in particular cross country skiing.
