Hi
PLease keep at it, I started at 29 in sheet ice in Pantecosa Spain. Now I am 60 and just love it more each time. I like it so much have bought a place and now moving out to live in Switzerland and do more skiing. Some very important things I have learnt...Never Never try and teach the wife... find your own style you are happy with you will progress naturally... Never be pushed where you don't want to go...learn not to fight the mountain .... try not to get too confused with all the advise
Just ENJOY
