At 2:30 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, I learned I had a “Learn to Ski” lesson with three people. They were determined to try cross-country skiing. It must have been on their end-of-the-year “bucket list.”

I was game if they were. My goal was to teach them the basics and get them comfortable on skis first before we attempted anything like hills. Sliding on slippery skis can be scary for someone not used to it, and I wanted them to have a good time.
