Widen your stance and angle your upper legs in to slow down. Keep your weight equally distributed on both legs. I imagine that I look like a Transformer. Pep talk over, I don all the equipment except for the skis. (If you want to do it, you have to be a little “hard core,” he later explains.) Horst says he’s had problems with visitors who come to Bryce in groups for a zip line tour and then casually decide to try their hand - foot - at grass skiing. Now there’s a mandatory introductory lesson for grass skiing that Horst teaches, he says, to about four to six people per week. More people used to try it before the resort began offering a wider array of less intense activities, such as the zip line, hiking and tubing. Horst introduced the sport to Bryce in 1976. Bryce, about 40 miles southwest of where Interstate 66 meets Interstate 81 in the Shenandoah Valley, claims to be the only place in North America offering the activity. Horst tells me that it’s one way competitive skiers stay in shape over the summer. We chat as he readies my equipment: ski boots, ski poles, elbow pads, knee pads, helmet and the skis themselves, which look like a cross between a rollerblade, a snow ski and a tank wheel. Meeting Horst, a genial German transplant who came to Bryce in 1966 and has been there ever since (the ski school bears his name), puts me at ease. If a less-than-30-second tube ride has left me this white-knuckled, I can’t imagine what grass skiing will do. I confirm that, yes, the colored-bottom tubes are faster. Back up I go, tugging the tube behind me. Interaction with Guests: We like to give our guests maximum privacy, so we offer contact-free checkin via a digital door code.The squirt put me up to it.
