An interesing feature in Zell am See is the opportunity to test yourself on a timed slalom course and have the run video'd.
Here's a link to my efforts
Doing it, I thought I was going quite fast and carving the turns reasonably well :shock: Disappointed to see the actuality. Turns are really pretty poor :x
Still good fun - everybody in the group had a few tries and the competition for fastest time was quite intense - unfortunately, not me :roll:

A good effort Wanderer :thumbup:
Which one? How did you fall to do that?
Consolation is that it's a good story. So much better than tripping on a curb.

Looked great if that was your first time through a course. It looked like a modified GS course typically used for club racing. It doesn't matter how good your carving is, everything goes to pieces in the gates, unless you have some coaching, and practice. In my case, a lot of coaching and practice is needed.
because I'm so inclined .....

Like you I thought I was going really fast !! and like you the reality was a different matter. Unlike you however I was so excited to see my time, I looked up to see the clock, lost concentration and fell over.
Real pain - but as you will remember you then have to go up a lift to ski down etc etc. So to the hospital next day - 40% tear on cruciate ligament - ouch nad a rubbish time too.

Hi Nadia race,
that sounds really painful :cry:
I hope the ligament heals okay or you can get it repaired, or whatever the treatment is these days.
