I can ski out of my back door.
When you think about it, we're strapping strange planks of wood to our feet and launching off of giant snow walls. It's pretty intense.
I learned how to cross-country ski.
When I'm in the starting gate, it's just me and the hill.
I tried snowboarding, and that scared the hell out of me.
I want to learn skiing and parallel bar gymnastics.
When I ski, I take both of my legs off and get into a sit ski: a ski with a custom seat that has been molded for me. I use my core and arms to propel myself on snow with help from ski poles.
For the moment, the snow is quite wet and soft. If it was hard or icy, it would be a perfect downhill for my style, because I could fight even harder.
There are many skiers who have chosen tele for a more compact, streamlined skiing system.
