#Flashback Thursday: My skiing history.

My skiing history is probably not the most exciting but you might be able to connect to some of it. So, it started about 10 years ago in 3rd grade when one day over the announcements, I heard something about ski club and I didn’t really know anything about skiing, so little me was thinking that I had to do this. I told my parents about it and they agreed that I could do it. When the club started, we all got on the bus and went to Labrador Mountain, once we got there I picked up my rentals and tried to do the smartest thing anyone could do, try and ski without even knowing how to put skis on but I managed, but it wasn’t pretty. I got lessons and eventually I was skiing but it still wasn’t pretty and I was hooked on skiing. The next couple seasons I went to Olympia Sports and rented skis and I was slowly getting better at skiing. Eventually, I got my own pair of Rossignol skis when I was around 11 years old and I was extremely happy to be rocking my own skis, I thought they were the coolest things ever. By this point, I was parallel skiing and making my way down the hill on my own and safely doing it as well. I was enjoying every minute I spent on the mountain and I was always ready to going skiing even in the Summer. When I was 14, I got a pair of Armada Arvs and again, I was super pumped to have some new skis. I was trying to ski in the park but I was terrified of everything. Finally, just recently I got my newest pair of skis, J skis Allplays and I have been loving them. 10 years later, I am finally doing proper parallel turns and still attempting to rip the park. Just like little me, I am always excited to go skiing and I enjoy almost every minute of it.
