Have you ever went skiing at elk mountain in PA?
I haven't! I'm not much of a skiier. Is Elk Mountain your favorite place to ski?
Oh yes absolutely, that mountain is so awesome, the black diamonds are absolutely beast to ride on.
Wow! Was it hard to learn how to ski a black diamond? It seems like there's so much to remember!
A little bit yeah, i vageuly remember when i was first starting out! just like anything practice makes perfect! 
I have a lot to learn, they seem so scary! Have you ever been to Steamboat Springs to ski? I hear they have "tree skiing".
It definitely can be scary, i once took a fall and hit my head really hard.  No i dont think so, wheres that at?
I'm so sorry that happened. I'm glad it didn't stop you from skiing. It's in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, and they have events all year round.
Thank you i appreciate that! Oh i bet the mountains there are wonderful, i am looking to travel so i should plan to head there sometime!
And it doesn't seem too far from Texas, either! Might make a fun road trip. Speaking of which, have you lived in Fort Worth all your life?
Ah texas, i used to live there years ago.  I would love to go back, the only down fall is no mountains! and no i only lived there for 4 years.
Oh, I see. Did you live near the Stockyards District? I like the name!
No i was stationed at fort hood texas in killeen
Oh! Did you serve in the Army?
Yes, currently still am!
