Yes, I have - one year I took a holiday in victoria to the snow and had lessons
private/ Didn't help though -i still could not ski.
Also had problems with one ski lift where you had to put the thing between your legs and GO> I kept falling off, and in the end was so embarrassed, I stopped trying as no one else was having a problem.
I liked the one which stopped while you climbed in like in the picture, and like I went in when touring Europe and the mountains!
