I don't know how the heck I did it, but the last time I tried to ski I

kid, and never had a problem. Think I was afraid to adjust my ankles and
stand up. So only the ski tips were above water, and I was making a
channel in it. Weird. I gave up after drinking all that water and
never tried again.

It's probably just as well. The last time I went skiing, I did get up,
but after about 1/4 mile, my forearms were on fire, and my legs stiffened
up for 2 days.
