How it all started...
Our skiing adventure began 8 years ago, when we were introduced to fun world of outdoor winter activities. I can hardly believe that after 12 years in Canada, we finally became brave enough to enjoy Canadian winters. We lost so much time. All those years I never dreamed of strapping skis to my feet. I was sure I will kill myself trying, so I never did...
Then, one year my brother took me skiing to Horseshoe Resort… That was fun, I actually managed to get myself off the lift (the smallest one there was…) then impressed him by turning onto the slope. “How did you know what to do?”, he asked. I had no idea how I new, I just did it.
On that first day, we actually graduated from that small slope and went onto the nice, bigger, secluded one with not too many people for me to run over. We spend some time trying to get me out of the bushes, and teaching me how to get up without unbuckling the ski boots…
Me, the ever-cold-feet-and-hands, 30-something mother of two was hooked on skiing after that first day! To downhill ski with ease was something so amazing that I had to share the excitement!
Second time we went, my patient brother had 3 more students to get out of the bushes.There was the possibility that my husband will take down everyone in his way, as he went straight down to the bottom of the hill without turning once. The boys were ready for bigger slopes within days.
We never looked back. Now we own our ski equipment, we love it and would recommend the brand to anyone: advanced or beginner. No more rental waiting-lines and high rental costs for us!
Those days, our ski stuff really is ready in September, we have season passes to Blue Mountain Resort, and we ski 4-5 times a week. We look forward to our annual 5-7 days trip to a new Ski Resort each year. Last year we discovered Massif on St. Lawrence River in Quebec. 12 hour-drive, and best skiing so far! Even 38 degrees below 0 didn’t scare us away! It truly was a blast. Check out the pictures here.
