Let’s face it: The best skiers in the world all started as soon as they could walk. In your group of ski friends, there’s a good chance the one with the best form tackles any terrain and is always first back at the chair learned as a kid, lucky enough to live in a place with skiing and parents who supported it. I grew up in the Midwest and never skied until I moved to Colorado at 30. But 20 years later, I ski 100 days a winter, and while I’m no pro, I’ll ski most anything and have a blast doing it.
