I got up on 2 skis at the age of 6, along with kneeboarding. Slalomed at probably 8. Got up on barefoot boom (barefooting) at 9 or so. I also started wakeboarding at like age 7, so im pretty well set up for everything Smile

Well there are the people who can ski, and then you say 2 doesn't count. So then there are half as less who can. Then you ask them if they can make a full pass at 15 off at 30mph (a rather beginner but still difficult for most speed and distance). They reply with "15 off of what?". That narrows down the number even more. I guess the real question should be...

Does anyone ski and what's the best you've done in a course? I've been skiing slalom for about a season and a half now. I can do 15 off at 29. I'm still working on it but it's a rush to make those gates.

I like to ski between wakeboard runs. I think its a good change to just haul ass.
