My favorite sport is downhill skiing

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

When I was a young teenager, I met some people who said that they loved downhill skiing.  At that point in time, I had only ever done water-skiing, and I was very good at it.  I loved to water-ski!  So I mentioned to my parents that I would really like to try downhill skiing sometime, and much to my surprise, that very winter our parents took the whole family downhill skiing!  Well, we didn’t bother to take lessons so we sure did fall down a lot!  But we sure did have fun!  That started a very long love of downhill skiing – so much so that I ended up moving to New England so that I could ski more often!
