We ski up at White Tail or Liberty just over the state line in PA, and also enjoy Smuggler's Notch in Vermont - a really nice family oriented ski resort. I always sign up for a lesson or two when we go to Vermont, since I don't ski very often. And I have to say that my husband hired me my own private ski instructor the one time we went to Austria to ski - saved the trip for me (and the rest of the family!) but that's another story......<br /><br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406331473395339199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-47856777775127657372010-10-12T16:28:44.840-07:002010-10-12T16:28:44.840-07:00I have not skiied in ages, but I do remember the t...I have not skiied in ages, but I do remember the times I had and it was SO MUCH FUN!!<br />Your post has tons of great tips and info. =)Vintage Coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066185329988715511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-30888231201249442812010-10-12T15:56:19.812-07:002010-10-12T15:56:19.812-07:00I'm a long-time skier.

I say this because I am a big baby and easily freaked out yet I can ski! <br /><br />If you ever want to go skiing with your aunt, take lessons! You will have so much fun and even get to meet new friends! <br /><br />As for Eddie Izzard, I loved him as Charlie Chaplin in "The Cat's Meow!" The outfits in that movie are to die for!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-22316295625322362402010-10-12T13:59:17.839-07:002010-10-12T13:59:17.839-07:00This is a great post!

I've never been skiing in my life and am terrified of hitting a tree and dying on impact but I'll probably get the guts to do it eventually! When I think of Skiing, I'm always reminded of my favorite comedian, Eddie Izzard who says "In skiing there are really two positions. One position is looking quite cool and the other position is DEATH!" *LOL* I hope that your family member gets well soon!! :)Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.com
