I was in good shape then, but pretty much hated every second. Not being able to get back up by myself was a major frustration. That's not fluffy snow you fall on, it's rock hard.
My youngest son and his wife take the 3 boys sometimes, they all love it.

A friend once invited me to join her and her family for a day trip to a ski resort. They would have paid for my ticket and everything but I turned it down because I already knew I would end up doing just what you described! Plus I was in my 40s by then so I would've been less resilient.
