I live in Colorado and went to my first ski lesson at about 6 yrs old. My brother told me about the chair lifts -- that you "jump off" when you get to where you're going. I thought he meant you jumped from the chair wherever you wanted on the hill. I was positively terrified going to my lesson, sure I would die from a the fall from 30 feet up. I was very relieved when the instructor told me you "jump off" at the top, when you skis touch the ground again.
