This actually happened to me once, more or less. We were required to
go skiing in gym class shortly after I had moved up here. It didn't
snow much where I was born, so I had never stood on a pair of skis
before. No one ever showed me that there was a trick to skiing up a
hill; I guess they somehow expected me to know through the magic of
christmas or something. I got half-way up and then started to glide
backwards. I think lying bruised and cold in some bushes at the
bottom of the hill added quite a bit to my hatred towards winter.
