Many grow up learning to ride a bike, play soccer and build a snowman but nothing compares to learning to ski at a young age. Listed below are a few things you definitely will understand if you grew up on the slopes.
1. The trouble of skiing in a group of five on a mountain full of quad chair lifts.
Do you go 3 and 2 or 4 and 1? If you find a double lift, who rides alone?
2. Even worse skiing in a huge group.
"We'll just meet you up there!" But when the lines are long you can spend more time waiting than actually skiing.
3. Yard sales.
Skis gone. Poles gone. Everything, everywhere. Hopefully its not too far uphill.
4. Going to ski school so your parents could ski without you.
Then they didn't have to teach you. Do you really blame them though?
5. When it gets skied off at the end of the day.
Is it really worth the last run when its just a sheet of ice?
6. The difference in real snow and fake snow.
You can just tell when the snow didn't actually come from the sky.
7. There's nothing like corduroy.
Life is good when you're started down a trail of freshly groomed snow.
8. Snowboarders.
They sit in the middle of the trail, they ruin the snow, and they take forever to get organized at the top of the mountain.
9. Green circle, blue square, black diamond.
What do you mean people don't know what these terms mean? Obviously Green Circle is the easiest.
10. Pizza.
The goal is french fries but you gotta pizza for a couple years first.
11. Snow plowing.
You square up and try your hardest to bury your fellow skier in powder.
