Since 2010 my family goes to Steamboat Springs, CO every year for downhill skiing/snowboarding. Only my older brother snowboards, really, the rest of us ski. My siblings are good and even my dad still has it. Mom just reads books inside by the fire. My runs, I always stop mid-hill, shuffle sideways along the mountain for as long as 20 minutes sometimes to see if that makes a difference, then proceed downhill before getting eaten by the monster.
