Not much experience here, had a week or so on the snow a few years back and haven't had a chance since - until now! (Well when winter comes).

A group I am in went to France for a holiday and we tried skiing once.
It was the first time I saw snow.

My parents were skiers and took me first when I was 6 years old back home.

I just liked the look of it and so gave it a go. Simple really. The big downer is the cash needed, it's not the cheapest thing to take up if you're borderline.

My friends talked me into it - got to admit I wasn't too keen at first, not mad on cold, but had a brilliant time when I got there. Addicted now.

It's a long time ago for me.
Took the youngest on a ski trip and we all learnt together.

I started when I first came to Japan about 10 years ago. I was in fukushima and with so much snow around you have no choice really but to try. Before coming I'd never really considered skiing. Mad into it now.

Family holiday. There was a break of 7 years when I didn't go though for one reason or another. Coming to Japan was a good thing too.
