Got Started in skiing: My mom skied with me until she was 8 months pregnant (Had to stop then, not much demand for maternity ski wear) When I arrived, mom and dad carried me skiing in a back pack until I was 18 months old, then put me on skis. They skied with me on a harness until I was 2 ½, then I was skiing on my own from there. I would ski a minimum of 3 days a week at a little 200 vertical foot area , Grand Geneva, WI and would get about 10 days a year at Park City while growing up. I have had a pass at Park City every year of my life. Today I get close to 100 days in a year. You can find her in Kings Crown or Pick N Shovel Parks virtually every day at Park City Resort.
