Thanks guys! MrMuscle, I came very close to throwing the skis, lol. I'm with you, skiing is not that great.
Y_Lifter, nope, no lessons. I was with an experienced skier, but she wasn't that much help, bless her heart. She was with 3 people that had never been on skis before in their life, so imagine what fun she was having.
gwl9dta4, I tried. I really did. Maybe it was just the anticipation of it all. I don't know. One of my friends is determined that I will go when he attempts it. I told him that the only way I will ever step foot on a ski slope is if someone who who is very very convincing convinces me, or it is someone I just can't say no to, lol. I have no plans to do it anytime soon. The slopes closed this week because of the warm weather. It's in the 70s today. So oh well, but thanks!
