Are you really? I love skiing, like downhill skiing. I would go every year to ski. Skiing is been around for 5 millennia

Yep. I started skiing when I was very young and I've skied every year since.

Do you use long skis and poles? I do. Skiers a long time ago would use one pole haha

Yeah I use particularly long skis by today's standards. I use poles as well.
1_Wizard
Yeah thats what I think most use. Ive seen people with stubby short skis and no poles before. The first skier who used two poles was back in 1741
