A beginner’s experience

Ok so i have worked at the resort for 4 years and counting and for the life of me i could not tell you why it took me so long to get on a pair of skis! i get it for free yet i never used this awesome benefit of working at Horseshoe Resort.

So today for the first time i tried skiing with my girlfriend and it was amazing , it was a lot simpler then i had expected and i had a blast! , I decided it would be a good idea to take a lesson since i have never skied before and i can tell you that within an hour i was up and skiing , turning , stopping and of course mastering the "Snow Plow" , however by this time i was already trying parallel turns and doing quite well at it, by the end of the day i was over at the "Donkey Serenade". After falling a few times and getting over being anxious about a steeper and bigger hill and remembering to really dig my edges in on turns i was doing quite well. All that i can say is thanks to Ian and Brian for hooking me up and well i am definitely hooked now.
