My son was about 8 and we were on our first skiing vacation. During one of his first runs he panicked and headed straight down the hill. People were dodging him and I was desperately trying to catch him. He ended up going through a line of people waiting to catch the chair lift, through a snow fence and into the parking lot before he stopped. When I got to him he just looked at me and said “WOW”. He got up and tried again!
