Finally I'm enjoying my skiing, and not a single fall in 49km of skiing, at a max pace of 73kph :)



Love it. But it reminds me of my second week of skiing when I returned to the hotel and proudly recounted my no-falls day to be told, 'well if you haven't fallen over at least 3 times in a day, you aren't trying hard enough' :(

I reckon it was probably sour grapes.

When my sons were not quite teenagers, I was leading them back from La Rosiere to La Thuile. Glancing over my shoulder, I happened to remark that I had not fallen for 12 years.
BANG!
