One of my friends moved to Colorado and all he talks about is skiing. That bug has basically bitten me, I'd like to go out there and ski.
There is one big problem: I've never done it before in my life. About the closest I've ever done is ride a lunch tray down a snowy-ish hill.
I would like to ask anyone here, where do I need to go? What do I do about equipment? I'm in Charlotte so anywhere within a days travel-ish of Charlotte (or Mount Airy or Mount Rogers, can crash at those places). Basically, I know nothing other than I need skis, snow and what I learned from that one episode of "South Park" when the boys went skiing (Pizza to stop, fries to go ).
What I do have: I'm pretty decent in shape (I figure that helps with any outdoor activity), I'm still fairly young so when I fall and bust my ass it won't be the end of the world, I have some cold weather equipment and I've got a 4WD to get me there. From my casual observation, all of these seem to be good things to have.
Thanks for any help.
