I was almost 40 when I learned to ski. I use the word "learned" loosely because I still struggle to slow down, turn, or stop when on the slopes. I know one speed, and that is "GET OUT OF MY WAY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SLOW DOWN!!"

It makes skiing interesting and a bit terrifying.

Slow and steady wins the race. Listen in as we unpack what that means.
