I'm with you there... and I'd hazard a guess that Mr CDP of this parish might join us. Optimum Ski in Villaroger taught us to ski proper-like quite a few <cough> years ago... good memories and one great run - although it is somewhat tamer toward the bottom than it once was.

I am also a former student of that fine establishment, and I have very clear memories of having rubber legs on the last run down to Le Pre...each day :D
Stunning run.

I'm going to Austria in Jan (I'll be 58 later in the year)and I'm constantly wondering if this will be my last run.
I hope to still be sking when I'm 70, but my knees and ankles think it miight end sooner than that.
I'd love to go on some of the runs described but I'm just happy to keep skiing reds and blacks for as long as poss.
Fingers crossed,
Geoff

:Dhi Geofm,thats the beauty of skiing you can make it as hard or as gentle as you like,and as long as you spend the day with a smile on your face thats all the reward anyone should need :D.
With regards to age and the pins starting to ache it is not uncommon to see skiers in thier late 60's or 70's so you should forward to many years yet on the slopes,hopefully as people get older the technique improves so not so much physical strength is needed,i am in my mid thirties and not as fit as i should be but i can ski longer and harder than i could 10years ago s my technique is better. :Denjoy every run.
