nerves

I've been over-excited for months about our trip.
Now we're packed and ready to leave in the morning the only sensation I'm feeling is nerves. I know that once I get off the first lift and slide I'll be fine but I was wondering if I'm alone?

I get the same feeling when I leave the resort!! Usually it's okay.

Sure you will be fine Caron, have a great holiday :D

I never seem to have nerves about going skiing more excitement I think :lol:

Caron,
I get nervous about pretty much everything, from I'm going to forget my passport to the car's going to break down and I'm going to miss the train :cry:.

But I'm not actually very nervous about the ski-ing bit - it's more about worrying that I'm not going to be able to find the instructor, or that my lift pass isn't going to work.

Have a good holiday Caron-a :D :D

Agreed Ian, I'm buzzing from the day we book to the day we leave. Love it :)

I rarely get nervous, although I still get excited. Having said that, I have been researching some of the more challenging runs in the Arlberg, and found that after going through some of the detail, I was just about hyper ventilating! I searched for a run that Bandit had mentioned, and then found Schindler. My frau has already said "NO". We will see.

Skiing is about risk, but also about one's ability to measure or assess the risk, and then make a decision. If I think a run is too icy & steep, I am happy to go somewhere else.

Caron, having seen how you overcame your fears, in going from beginner slope to conquering Tennladen, I think you have a great attitude to skiing. Be nervous, but also, be excited!

Have a great week in Obergurgl.

I get very nervous.

I lost my sister during my second skiing holiday :cry:

It was in 1996. She was only 19 and I was 15. She didn't die while skiing though. Few days into our holiday her boyfriend arrived and one day they decided to walk in to the mountains, unprepared. No proper shoes or clothes, nothing.
They both fell from the ridge.

He had only a few scratches and a broken rib but she fell with her head facing downwards and broken her neck. Apparently he felt first and than... we don't know. Did she tried to help him and fell... Nobody knows what really happened.

A week before we went on the holiday I had this bad feeling that something bad is going to happen. I didn't want to go. We were going by coach and on our way we past this very bad car accident. That made my feeling even worse. And than it happened to me. My sister died.
Before I always thought "bad things always happen to somebody else not to me"

Now I am always scared while going on holiday. I hate this feeling :(

OMG that is so awful, i really feel for you.

Personally i am a really bad flier and i also hate being away from home so i get incredibly nervous before any trip.
Once i am there i am generally fine but i don't like the build up and the traveling.
