When and where was the first time you skied?

Me: 1974, Don Valley Ski Centre, a 40-metre vertical, two rope tow, one platter lift mega resort in the inner suburbs of Toronto. Leather boots with wood skis with cable bindings, which was the style at the time. Went tits up in the late 70s due to Toronto’s inconsistent snow and mostly due to the urban heat island effect (the city now extends dozens of miles to the north). Took a pic today of one of the platter lift posts, which you can seen in the attached pic from the mid-70s.
