It can be dangerous. The biggest problem is young people with limited
ability and no manners. I took up downhill skiing late in life. I was
in my mid 40s. I tried it once with rented skis and liked it so much I
went out and bought skis, boots, bindings and poles. My son was in the
ski club at his high school and I used to go along as a parent
chaperone. We used to go to Ellicottville in NY, about 30 miles
southwest of Buffalo. It was a lot closer than any skiing in Ontario.
