I use to think, but not anymore

What ski related opinion did you have as a kid, but later learned you where wrong.

I grew up skiing at Hunter (which was great), but I use to think Vermont was the Promised Land.
I use to think Stratton was great (because it was in Vt. and was the only Vt. Area my Dad took me to.)
I use to think Vt. had the highest mountains in the Northeast, but then I saw the High Peaks

I don't have any...my Parents weren't very into winter
or, tennis, or golf, or baseball, or football, or ice hockey...you get the idea

Now, I do all of that stuff with my family

Now coaching soccer was a gear shifter for me...I just pretend it's hockey

Skis under 200cm were for pansies.

Same. I used to think skiing was a made up sport that the made up families on the disney channel used to do with each other.

Same boat. My parents never did anything I do now- climbing, skiing, sailing, cycling, firefighting.

Although I can say "I used to think" because I never really did much thinking in general. Hence the drool strains on all my shirts.

For a short period I believed rear-entry boots were cool.

 

[ctenidae]

I used to think people were inherently good.

Wait, that's not ski related.

 

[campgottagopee]

I used to think skiing in blue jeans, wearing no hat and drinking so-so on the lift was cool.:dunce:

I still wear my SX91

 

[koreshot]

I used to think the Knight Rider and American Gladiators were the best shows ever.

Looks like some TV networks still do.

 

[SIKSKIER]

I used to think I knew how to ski.

 

[kingslug]

I used to think skiing sucked....................that opinion has changed a bit.

Well at least you had the best of them (they were good enough for Scott Schmitt). I can't imagine the plastic is going to hold up much longer.

I grew up thinking places like Loon and Sunday River were the best mountains in New England and not caring much for Northern Vermont. :lol:

I also grew up thinking hiking in the winter when there was good skiing at the resorts was for whackos.

 

[ckofer]

When I was 11 or 12, I thought the Bay City Rollers were good.

 

[deadheadskier]

I used to think that ski wear that consisted of stretch pants and lots of neon colors was cool.


Looking back it was pretty comical. MC 'Hammer Time' on the slopes from 88 through 92.

I used to think skiing was for rich folks. Now I'm all grown up, not at all rich, and I ski quite a lot!

 

[Marc]

I used to think there was a God..

Surprise!

I'm back!

But you may call me Marc.
