My sister started skiing with me and she was about 4 or 5 at the time. We both loved it, although neither of us do it anymore. I'd like to start up again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1512947 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 18:18:08 +0000 bpcmarj 1512947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First and only time at 18.

I can ski and snowboard. I resisted snowboarding for *years* . . . but once I tried it I was totally hooked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1512944 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 18:16:31 +0000 AmandaB8 1512944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I skied first when I was 11 and love it. I first snowboarder at 24 and broke my wrist on the bunny hill! </p> <p>I'll stick to skiing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1512787 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:47:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 1512787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 21 and terrified. D is a great skier--he does the black diamonds or whatever. We hadn't known each other very long, but I went with him, now FIL, BIL and our oldest nephew, who had JUST turned 3....it was his first time going. </p> <p>It was a bad scene. I couldn't stop imagining breaking a leg and not being able to work or worse. I never actually managed to go down by myself...D always went down with me, standing behind me, skis on either side of mine, poles held horizontally across my stomach, steering with our hips. It was awesome, but I feel bad, because he never managed to go down alone, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1512781 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:43:24 +0000 BoogieBea 1512781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time skiing was in college. Then switched to snowboarding shortly after. I might try skiing again one day. We'll see. We started the kids skiing already. My son just started going down the mountain on the greens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1512755 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:29:06 +0000 BSB 1512755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In high school for ski club.

I can't downhill and I tried snowboarding at 26 and never again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1512011 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:27:59 +0000 MediaNaranja 1512011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At a little over 12 months my dad took me skiing in a backpack :silly: I started lessons when I was 2 or 3. I grew up in a ski town and that's just how it was done! In elementary school we were let out early on Fridays and bussed up to the resort for ski school. Season passes to the ski resorts were only $99, and one of the resorts gave you a free season pass if you could prove you were on the honor roll! It's no coincidence that several gold medalists from the Sochi Olympics hail from my hometown!</p> <p>When I was in middle school one of the resorts that was skiing only started allowing snowboarding, so I switched because it was the "cool" thing to do. I've since seen the error of my ways and switched back to skiing :wink: I try to make it out at least onc e a weekend, though I'm afraid I'm out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury last weekend, boo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511985 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:19:24 +0000 Beyond2 1511985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 years old. I tried both because DH is from a skiing/ snowboarding family. It wasn't something I could learn as an adult! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511972 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:15:56 +0000 IRunForFun 1511972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>27 when I went downhill skiing! I have never snowboarded. </p> <p>We were too poor for skiing when I was young, so I never went till I met DH. I've only been twice. It's pretty fun! But still a little expensive for us to go regularly... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511952 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:10:21 +0000 coopsmama 1511952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Believe it or not - I never have! I lived in a big skiing/snowboarding town growing up but we were so heavily involved in sports that my parents and coaches said it was absolutely out of the question due to injury risk and then I went to college in sunny CA where I spent more time on the beach then a mountain. I've been pregnant the last couple winters since graduating so I've had no opportunity... yet! But hopefully soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511942 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:07:02 +0000 sunny 1511942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents took us skiing when I was around 6. I think I tried snowboarding around 12. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511920 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:01:07 +0000 808love 1511920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember the first time but I went skiing with my school throughout 7th grade and it was a blast. I look forward to going again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511801 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:33:02 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1511801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried skiing for the first time around 6 years old I think? I tried going 2 other times later as a kid but every time ended in tears which isn't good when the snot freezes to your face, haha. Never went skiing again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511741 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:17:03 +0000 Bookish 1511741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was 6 or 7? We lived in Chicago and I took lessons when I was pretty young... then we moved to Texas and I've skied once in the last 15 years! :silly: I'd love to take LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511639 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:51:14 +0000 yin 1511639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never have at 27. When I was younger I just didn't have the money to splurge on a ski trip. The cost of rental, buying necessary clothes, and the slopes is too pricey. Experienced friends always invited us, and I knew it wouldn't be as fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511629 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:47:09 +0000 Charm54 1511629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started skiing and age 5.

I also snowboarded occasionally in high school. In college I stopped downhill skiing because it was too expensive, but have continued cross country skiing. I still do it, and love it. Its one of my favorite winter sports. I haven't been able to go this winter or last because of pregnancy/ baby. I ski on classic skis and also go telemark skiing in the woods. I can't wait to start our daughter! My family is really into winter sports (my brother snowboarding, my mom nordic, and my dad telemark, and we all snowshoe). My husband used to race both classic and skate.<br /> Makes winter much more enjoyable!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-did-you-first-skisnowboard#post-1511427 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:51:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1511427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been snowboarding. I went skiing for the first time at 12. I loved it! I still do. I haven't been in 6 years though. I can't wait to go with DH one day. </p>
