My youngest is 4 and he just started ski lessons. Next year I will ski with him and meet my goal of skiing with all of my grandchildren. Season pass for 2024-2025 already purchased.

My uncle (Dad's brother) was a great skier. He skied into his late years. At the end he was under heavy pain killers for cancer and was semi-comatose. His wife saw he was smiling in his half-asleep state and asked him where he was. He said he was skiing down Wildcat Mtn. (NH) His last thoughts were about skiing.
I was never a good skier but I always enjoyed doing it. I was once the only skier going up and down a black diamond slope at Sunday River in Maine. It was bitter cold, but I couldn't resist the chance to have the entire ski run to myself. The ski lift operator thought I was nuts.
