We've been in Utah now for over 2 years, it's about time we went skiing. This past weekend Nick had off so we headed into Salt Lake for some shopping and skiing. We went to Alta because they have a free after 3 program. So it was only $20 for us to ski for a couple hours. (And trust me, that's all we could handle!) The area that is free has some easier slops, but they weren't all that easy compared to Indiana skiing, they were closer to a medium for Indiana slopes. Before we went Nick was a little nervous about it, but on the way up the lift I started to get a little scared. It seemed to take forever to get to the top. We finally made it to the top and headed on down. Nick fell a couple times, I fell a couple times (once b/c he took me out with his pole ;)), but we survived and went up one more time. The second time down we went down the other easy slope and didn't fall at all, but we were kind of concerned we weren't going the right way because there weren't as many signs, so we went a lot slower. That was enough for us, it only took about an hour, but we were sore in the thighs, knees, and toes.
Nick enjoyed it so much that he said if we/ when we moved to Denver he wants to get a season pass and skis. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it that much, I'm kind of a chicken. I would definitely want to get a helmet and lessons.
