This camp sounds fantastic! I’m impressed that you made so much progress in just 3 days and found courage to tackle the black-diamonds and goat runs :) I’m a cautious blue-square skier myself and now I’m inspired by you to try to push out of my comfort zone - loved this article.

I can totally relate! We have a condo in MV and I hardly ever ski, though I do a ton of other winter activities when we’re there. I think it’s two things that hold me back: I hate crowds and standing in lines, and I fear knee injury that would limit my summer activities. Your post makes me think about skiing again. Thanks for the motivation :)

So relatable! We have a ski house in VT and my husband and 3 boys are expert skiers. I learned as an adult and am still trying to keep up. I love the feeling after a day of skiing, but I am still filled with trepidation the majority of the time. I really want to be proficient and confident and not feel self-conscious skiing under the lift! I am seriously considering signing up for the March clinic. Coincidentally, I enrolled in a women’s summer running retreat yesterday. It’s never too late for self-improvement!

Lol, that reel at the end! 😂

So impressed at your bravery in taking on the ski camp. It takes real courage to be a beginner, especially at our age.
