my family all started skiing together on a local school ski trip, kids are grown and gone and the wife and I still ski, every once in a while we get to ski with one of the kids and it is a hoot.

Good luck man. Met my wife through online dating. I took my wife skiing on our second date and it was a lot of fun. A great way to feel a little more relaxed and to break the ice.

Met my girlfriend online and though we met in the winter and are both avid skiers, due to schedules and commitments we were not able to ski together until we had been dating for close to a year.

I taught my ex-wife how to snowboard. Went though all the pain of teaching, waiting, riding easy groomers all day until she was pretty good. Then we got divorced. Figures. Now some other guy gets the fruits of my labor. Oh well, he can have it.

My first time at Jay was an epic powder day. We split up after our first run so the guys could go play in the glades and the girls could do their thing. We met up with them after popping back out of the woods, and I found out my ex had broken her wrist. I spent the rest of the day in the ER with her while everyone else kept skiing/riding. I know shit happens, and I was happy to be there for her, but now that we're divorced I look back and wish I had just dropped her off and gone back to the mountain. She wouldn't even give me one of her vicodin when we got back to the house! Ungrateful, b****. :p

My wife is fully supportive lf my skiing habit. She does ski but is pregnant so this season was out. Only thing i wish is when shes skiing that she could realize her skills and take more chances. She like the greens and blues but its all good. She bought me my season pass this year and i love her more for it lol

This post is no good without the evidence! hahaha
I can't seem to find it anywhere.I've searched online for Cannon brochures with no luck.I'm guessing it would have been around mid to late 90's.Anybody finds some from that time period,look for a blonde guy(me) with a girl and 2 kids.If I remember the kids were kneeling or sitting in front of us.I would love to see/have this brochure again.

I learned how to ski just so that I could see my boyfriend in the winter time. If I didn't I would have NEVER seen him once the snow started to fall and now I love it. We go our own way once we hit the hills and meet back up for lunch for a run and food.
