I skied on Astroturf and PVC pipe on the slope in my backyard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I won't ski in the backcountry the day after a big storm anymore. The mountains are so humbling. As soon as you think you're on top or crushing it, that's when you need to be really careful.
I used to ski. I still play basketball a little bit. I'll play soccer but more in a safe environment, never on a full-grass pitch.
It rained a lot in New Hampshire, and when I skied, the snow was icy and hard, and the mountains were small.
My parents strapped a pair of plastic skis on my boots when I was two years old and sent me down our driveway in Vail. Of course, they were holding on to me the whole time, but that was my first experience 'skiing.'
I want to ski down Mount Cho Oyu in the Himalayas when I am 85, descending from a height of 8,201 meters.
I suppose the most daring thing I've ever done is try to water ski. And that was not successful.
Most places in the Midwest, you ski on piles of trash, like retired landfills.
I haven't skied or snowboarded or anything like that.
I do Skid Row every night.
When I see a slippery slope, my instinct is to build a terrace.
