Do you lnow how to ski??? Either water or snow or both???

I do not do either. I haven't been snow skiing since I was 6---- it has been about 3 year since I have been on water ski's-- and that was not very pretty.

Never learned how...sad thing is...I grew up in Buffalo!

I was a far more successful snow skiier than a water skiier. Could not get my hindquarters up and out fast enough in the latter. I loved snow skiing and one of the last things I sold before we moved to Fl. 8 years ago was my equipment.

I know how to snow ski.

4peasinourpod · Mon Nov 17, 2008 7:28 am

nope...I am a klutz

I have snow skied, but didn't like it. My parents own the back side of the property of a ski hill, too!
I waters skied once at summer camp. The morons driving the boat didn't tell me to let go of the rope when I fell, so I got dragged along in the water with a bunch of water in my face! I just thought I would fall & the boat would stop & then I'd get up & going again. You know.. it looked that way on TV!

Neither, I 've never been skiing.

I've done both. When I was younger I did acrobatics (gymnastics) and so I had pretty good upper body strength. It helped me get up on water skis the first time I tried. Unfortunately I only got a couple of chances to try b/c no one I know has a boat.

Snow skiing - I'm pretty bad. I can do intermediate trails on a good day, but I tend to use the wedge/pizza/snowplow method WAYYYYYY too much.

So I started snowboarding...and LOVE it!!

Cross-country snow skiing, not downhill. And I can kneeboard, but not waterski.

I water-skiied maybe twice when I was about 13 years old. It was fun, til I hit the water in a certain way that was VERY PAINFUL to my privates, believe it or not! Haven't done it since.
I've never snow-skiied, and at this age, doubt I ever will. I would love to go to a snowy ski resort and maybe snowshoe (is that the right term?) to be outside, get exercise, etc, but w/o the danger and speed of skiing!

I have tried both, but didn't like either, so I do neither.

mykidsmom · Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:19 am

I tried downhill once...HATED it! My dh and I would much rather snowmobile

Smiley-Scrap8 · Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:19 am

I have water skiied several time but it was when I was a kid. Would need some practice to do it now.

I can snow ski too. But I prefer to snow board, it's alot of fun and I'm better at it than skiing.

kathyt · Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:24 am

I know how to do both but haven't done either in over 20 years so not sure how good I would be

Grandma Flowers · Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:26 am

Not me. I hate the cold and am afraid of the water.

snowangels · Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:33 am

No, I've never tried to do either of them.

Northern Brat · Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:47 am

I do both!! And love it!!! I haven't gone downhill skiing for a few years now, but I do enjoy it. My next thing to learn is to snowboard.

Rici76 · Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:50 am

No I don't know how to ski, at all. I am terrified of it!

beachlover · Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:51 am

no; after seeing my brother and one sister break a leg each on the same ski trip, I decided I could live without learning to ski!!!!

neboyle · Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:54 am

I have been water skiing since I was 6. I love it! I have never been snow skiing.
