hahahaha so your mom helped you progress your jibbing. 

Originally posted by Jerry Sometimes going with my dad makes me nervous... especially when he pushes his limits and I think he's going to biff it and get hurt.    He learned to ski about the same time I started boarding.  As I'm only half his age I picked it up a lot quicker, but my dad doesn't mind if I cruise on without him.  Most of the time though, if we go together we stay on most of the same runs...he just skis around the kickers and rails...   The cool thing is that I get to hang out with my dad, which when I was a teenager was not really very important to me, but now at age 28, I think its pretty cool that my dad and I had over 19 days on the mountain last year together...

Yeah, same here!  As I get older, I realize spending time with my parents are priceless, even when I get left in the dust... err.. spray.  We have weekend cabin trips during the season and take every chance to go during the weekdays.  More mountain for us!

neither of them were ever too into it (skiing), but when i was about 4-5, we would go up a few times a season just cause.  that was it.  i cant even imagine my dad on skis anymore.  i cant imagine myself on them either.  i always hated it.. the only years i went up at all were like.. 4-5-6 maybe, and no more than 10 times.. took lessons.  hated it.

started actually snowboarding up there when i was 10.. dad hasnt done anything related to a ski area since i was a little kid.  my mom is into cross country skiing though, but not regular dowhill or whatever you call it.  when we went on a trip to alyeska when i was 12 or 13, though, she tried it out again and took a lesson or two.  i remember, my brother and i found her on a run, stayed with her for like 30 seconds, and then went to the bottom and watched.  she was going down probably what is an average blue run (or whatever the second lowest level is) for most of you guys and started to go too fast for her own good.  she did that thing where a novice skier kinda starts to crouch like theyre in an awkward attack position, and then she gripped too hard and hooked a sharp turn, tipped over, and slid for a while and kicked up a bunch of snow dust as she was sliding and spinning.  it was awesome.

she sticks to cross country these days, but shes pretty into it i guess.  ive never tried it and id feel like a dork, but maybe ill try it out with her this winter.  i only live like four or five miles away, but i dont see her THAT often.. we talk regularly though.. sometimes i really love hanging out with just my mom, so who knows... i might have a cross country skiing edit coming this season.  i mean, i already went waterskiing in montana, i dont think it can get much worse.

i want to say he also did some riding, but id have to watch it again to know for sure.  ive seen it so many times, but i dont remember.

really, i have no problem with the idea of going cross country skiing.. but i do know that i would look AWESOME scooting across a frozen lake on skis.

Neither of my parents have either skied or boarded, nor will they ever. It's just not their thing.

i remember the day when i transitioned from chasing my dad down the slopes to waiting way to long for him.

Im gonna try to get my mom to get back on skis this year...im pretty sure she used to when she was a kid.

My rents used to ski often but after my dad's knee went trough the dash of a car at 90+ mph, he hasn't skiied since.  He just got his knee replaced last year and the doc said he could ski again, so Im hoping I could convince him to, but doubtful he will try boarding cause its for "knuckleheads"

My parents live in Mississippi, nuff said.

I've been trying to get my mom on the mountain for at least 10 years.  Still a no go.  Something about "It's too cold!"

Boo!  Love her, but what.... it's snow!!!  Of course it's cold!

My parents used to ski before I was born. At this point, my father passed away 4 years ago, and my mom has bad knees, but from what she's told me I'm not sure if I would've hd much fun riding with her. I'll stick to spending time with my mom in other ways.
