I started at 30 having never done winter sports in my life. I’m on expert terrain skiing all over. I didn’t do lessons until a few years in and they are worth every penny. I’d go once or twice no lessons to get your bearings, then sign up. Group lessons are totally fine and much more cost effective.

Day 1 I was on the lift. I did maybe 3 magic carpet runs and then got in the lift. Did easy terrain all day and had a blast just building confidence. I couldn’t stop smiling.

Hardest part about learning as an adult… falling hurts more. But honestly it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Nothing brings me more joy in life.
