Tried when I was 3, apparently they didn't have any boots small enough for me so I ended up not being able to bend my knees. Hated it, ended up spending the week in the daycare thing watching duck tales the entire time. So I stopped until I was 9 and started to snowboard. Tried skiing again when I was 11 and loved it so I stuck with that.
