I started at the age of 8, and my first trip was to Niederau.

It was 1996.

1977 to Glenshee, Scotland.

But only just caught the bug again.
It's only a slope.

My mum was pregnant with me when she went skiing in Zakopane, Poland so technically I was minus 8 months.
As a real-life boy, I was 4, again in Zakopane. Been very nearly every year since then.

Coming up to five years ago so I would have been 29 at the time.

Making up for lost time now though!

Jan 1 1999 at age 46. However there was a try at skiing on New Year's Day 1997; but that day ended in the hospital- and doesn't count. The first trip up the hill my wife twisted both knees on the sheer ice run off ramp. And I'm sure my finger prints are still in a lamp post at the edge of the trail I came down. It was a one run day !!! Our "friends" had bets on me being the injured one :!:

However the correct answer to "when did you start skiing" is: not soon enough!!

ellistine, I have a lot more catching up than you have :roll:.
