Hey folks, I am 34, 6 foot, 180 pounds. Fit, adventurous.
I was raised in a tropical country and have been living in the PNW(Washington) for 6 years now. I never learned how to ski and feel most people here do that as a child, but I have always been fascinated by it and all other things it comes along with!
The few people I know who tried it in their 30s messed up their ACL(s). I really dont want to pick up a severe injury, cos that will take time away from gym and other activities, I do.
So, the question is, did anyone here learn how to ski in their 30s and have any advice on how should I approach it, if at all?
OR, the risk-reward ratio is so skewed that I should give up on this.
The other alternative is learning how to snowboard. Should I start there?
Thank you for sharing your experiences !
