Who all has takin ski lessons?

The first time I ever skied I was 1 and a half, my parents didn't want to teach me yet so I did one of those daycare/short ski day things, that was it. My parents taught me how the next season, then I started racing, then I did bumps, now I just ride for fun.
 
The first time i went was with a friend, and he tought me how to ski

And then the second time i went skiing was with school so we had to take a lesson.

But that is the only time.
 
yea I taught myself too, quit my job, bought skis, drove to vermont by myself, got on the chairlift, fell on my ass the whole way down...
 
ive been skiing since i was like 2, going down between my dads legs, so he tought me. i also raced and that helped alot. also the mandatory ski lesson with the school ski trip, but i never learned anything from those.
 
I started skiing when I was 3. I was a baller. I skied with my mom on a leash (hell yeah, bamf) and after she broke my leg by twisting me up and letting me fall akwardly and I got better, I went into lessons at Mt. Fucking Southington in CT. They gave me pins for every lesson. It was dope.

When I was 6 I went to Snowbird, UT with my mom for the first time. She put me in ski school there, which to this day remains my personal favorite ski school in the world. So dope. Every year we'd go back and do ski school, and by the time you get to the highest level, the teachers are real chill and all you do is ski pow, jump off shit, laugh, and cut lift lines. SOOOO much fun.

I loved ski school. Hell yeah!
 
Absolutely.

If you want to be able to ACTUALLY ski and not just flippy spinny stuff then lessons are super valuable, no matter what level skier you are
 
Me learning how to skis is one of the craziest stories and most fun trip ill ever remember. Its long so to make it short my buddies parents were Ski Patrol at Jiminy Peak and his dad taught me. I was going down squares in a matter of hours
 
i started lessons when i was 2 and did them for like 4 years maybe? then did racing for like 3 years when i was real young.
 
true

i took lessons from 5-8, but in the 3rd year of lessons im like, dad, fuck this these kids are noobage to the max, so i just skied with him, he pree much taught me all the racer shit,
oh funny story haha, one time the racers were practicing and i totally ripped through the gates just for fun and in the lift line the coach dude is like "hey man, yer good, dyou wanna race for us?" i be like hellz noo
 
i did for a couple of years. but sometimes it sucked when i was with gapers that never skied and decided to be in better levels. goin up the t-bar could take a couple times
 
i was on a ski teams so i think thats ski lessons. but nev a lesson where u go to a resort and learn pizza and frechfries
 
Yeah i had one a couple years back in Whistler. He had skied with the Red Bull team and was pretty much awesome... taught me so much stuff.

Chris if ur out there thanks :)
 
took lessons my first two days out. got turns down

then i just figured it out for myself.

that and from watching other freeskiers and videos....
 
raced for 12 years, had coaching all the way through... figured out the freestyle aspect on my own, but the racing background is what made that possible
 
devo (pre race team) for 3 years
race team past 6 years
taught my self BC and park
now just freeride
 
i did, about 4 weeks or so in france, i'm glad i did it because i know that i can ski well, as well as being able to ski in the park, its definatly very valuable, as silence said above.

lessons were the shit. my dad actually started skiing the same time i did, then he became an instructor.
 
funny story about ski lessons.

I've taken 2 lessons my entire ski career (3 years). The first one was when i was a freshman, 14 i think, at sugarbush in vermont. i had this grizzled old instructor named anne, who was awsome. she got me skiing on a chairlift my first day, although i fell 12 time over the course of a football field. then i skiied with my dad for a long time and got good because i had to ski with him. then later that sesaon, my dad wanted me to take an "advanced" lesson with my friend ben. the guy pretty much told me that i was skiing all wrong and that i needed to lean forward more. anyways i listen to him, and later that day i end up doing a somersault becayse i hit a rock while leaning forwards. screw lessons now, you get good by skiing with people who are better than you.

but now im 17, and i teach lessons.
 
I took lessons my first couple times, and then my school had a program where they took a bunch of kids up for night skiing once a week and I had to take lessons with that. I raced for 6 years. I learned/continue to learn BC by skiing with other people who were better than me. And I'm also learning freestyle that way too...
 
woohoo Mt Southington represent! skied there since i was 4 and still go there fo' free cuz my dad is a ski instructor. I took a few lessons but i hated lessons so i baisically just follwed my dad around when he was teaching
 
me 3

and i toke lessons when i was like 12? i went with the boyscouts so we had to and then next time i went i learned how to turn and all that shit and the rest is just self taught
 
Im calling bullshit, most people barely have the muscle development to stand at 1 and 1/2, let alone the muscle development to ski.
 
i took one when i was 6. after my dad saw it was totally useless, he taught me how. i started when i was around 2 though
 
i took tham when i was really little then got into racing and like 3 yearsago intpo freestyle
 
when i was like 2 till i was like 10, from there the instructors in steamboat used to ask me where to go sometimes, no bs.
 
Lessons from the age of 18months until 5 6days a week every season.

Race training 6weeks a year until I was 12.

ESF taught in France and it was sweet, so glad my parents actually taught me to ski, i love being able to shred everywhere with ease and fluidity.

Soon to be teaching too, quite psyched to pass it on to kids with the same passion.
 
When I was five i took private lessons at Beaver Creek and got lucky and got a great teacher, ever since we (my family) has had good luck getting instructors because we always seem to make friends and just ski... In park city are instructor was Mauri Cambilla (for those of u who don't know himhttp://www.freeridecreme.dk/2007/11/02/pro-of-the-week-mauri-gambilla/ and he is one of the coaches as SASS) who is awesome. Lessons are a great opportunity to ski with people better than yourself.
 
I did when i was real little for a year or 2, like 5 or 6 years old, then i got bored cuz all the kids sucked and they asked me to join the racing program which would mean id never ski with my friends or my dad, which was what i loved about skiing to i just skied for fun and friends and taught myself from there
