kirarockie 0 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I had skiied for several years when my male partner obviously thought it would be hilarious to see me crash and burn. He gave me his snowboard and boots (obviously too big for me) - took me up to the top of the mountain and said "this is easy strap in and go straight down". To his and my amazement I went down quickly and without falling and have never been back on skis. Link to post Share on other sites
