The very first time on skis was at our neighbors house in 1974 after a big storm. The first on-mountain experience was at Powder Ridge, CT in 1979. Three times on the bunny slope and it was off to the top!

Ward Hill 1986
Temple Mountain
Peterborough NH
February 1990. I was not quite 12.
The rope tow that ran parallel to the road. I hated skiing and really wanted to quit. Dad convinced to have lunch and give it one more shot after that. I remember the rope tow burning through my gloves. We even have a couple of pictures somewhere.
RIP Temple!

Calling it "skiing" was a stretch....but it was at Montage Mountain in the Poconos circa 2001 or so.

For the resto of you, V.V. is now Mountain Crack
First real Mountain was Stowe in 89 or 88
Thought Spruce was Stowe when I first came up on it....then my jaw dropped
EDIT: And I will never take my children there (MC)

Royal Mountain, NY in Dec 1963 on wooded skiis, lace up boots and Cubco bindings. A very primitve release binding.
They had a T-bar and a rope tow. Tickets were $4/$2 for the adults/kids and $1 for the rope tow. The season started around X-mas and went into April due to the great NE exposure and narrow trails. I hear they are still going strong.
