When Did You First Try Skiing? (Poll)

My home mountain is Palisades Tahoe, California.

On a daily basis, if not hourly, I'm reminded that I am not the best skier on the mountain. Sure, there are plenty of 30-, 40-, and 50-somethings who can best me, but, more embarrassingly, it's the kids. The kids are so good these days.

My mom and dad first put me on skis 4-years-old. Because of this, I can claim that I've been skiing my whole life, but the frequency at which I actually skied was quite low until I became a young adult.
