I ended up crying, walking down the (large) hill, and begging someone to wax my skis for me. So I feel your pain there. That can make a day VERY miserable. But I'm glad you're getting the hang of it! You're right about lifts though... I still get nervous every time I get off a lift, mostly because of the other idiots on the mountain. Definitely try it again, hopefully if you have no equipment problems you can actually enjoy the skiing part. ;) I’m sorry for the equipment problems – I actually had that happen to me with my OWN skis one year, on a school trip – my skis WOULD NOT SLIDE.
