Our family has made several trips to various local ski mountains including; Swain, Powder Mill Park, and Hunt Hollow.  My husband, Kris, has skied his whole life, I on the other hand have NOT!  I am new to the sport and continue to learn.  The kids seem to be learning a bit more quickly than I. I do enjoy the sport and will continue to make progress one day at a time.
