Here's the thing: it's not high! you're on the ground the whole time!

Yup, I was terrified too. HATED skiing the first few times. DH decided that the family would ski, I was out of town when he bought me the lesson package, and I missed the first lesson. So, I came in late, no clue, and got on things I shouldn't have, maybe. Anyway, I was not delighted with skiing at first, then came September, and season pass sales, and commercials on the radio (season pass came with the lessons, so no, I didn't want to buy one) but I discovered that it EXCITED me to hear that ski season was coming! So much so that I stopped on the side of the road, dug my phone out of my purse, and called DH. Said to him "SKI SEASON'S COMING!!!" His response? "Yeah, so?"

He's still much more a terror on skis than I am, but he unwittingly unleashed a monster....
