Ever since I was 5 or 6, my parents took my sister and me up to Tahoe once a year to ski or snowboard.  Everytime I went, I just couldn\\&#8217;t handle the lesson.  I just naturally have bad form for almost every single sport.  And all this accumulated to frustration.  So I never really knew how to ski until several years ago when I got over the you-cannot-teach-me-anything-if-i-cannot-learn-how-to-do-it-myself phase.<\/p>\n<p>So basically, I am at the level of someone who has skiied two days. :)  I am so sore!  I was able to do a blue square falling only once.  But not only that, I also skiied into a course and started turning between the blue\/red flags until a lady yelled at me.  Doh, how could I have known there was a competition going on!  No major wipeouts unless you count the times that I fell intentionally because I was about to go into a black diamond zone.<\/p>\n<p>Next up: master the snowboard.  I anticipate approximately 10 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GSA ski trip today! I got up at 6:45 am to catch the 7:30 am bus rides to Seven Springs resort.
