The examples are mine.

- During/Over the course of the last five years, I've tried to learn how to ski for three days each winter.
- During/Over the last five years, I've tried to learn how to ski for three days each winter.
- I've tried to learn how to ski [for] three days each winter for five years.

Are these grammatically correct/natural?
 
Over the past five years I've spent three days each winter trying to learn to ski.
 
Remember that "ok" is always incorrect. At the start of a sentence, you can use "OK" or "Okay". Elsewhere in a sentence you can use "OK" or "okay".
 
@Tony_M Trust me - you'll never learn to ski if you just spend three days every winter trying it.
 
Now I think you're just pulling my leg. Every sentence, even one as short as just one word, must start with a capital letter and end with an appropriate punctuation mark.
