Good Morning G-man.
I tried skis and while it was fun, the effort to get there, the cold and expense just did not grab me. I am sure it might be different if I grew up on skis and was really good at it. There are lots of ways to dispose of disposable income and snow skiing is just below water skiing, fishing, golf. Way down in the double digits on my list. It is way above painting the house and insulating the attic. But that is just my list.
