Worst skiing nightmares...

The year of no snow went to a tiny resort in Austria. Only one tiny run- you just got off a little higher up if you were ''expert'' Total waste of money. Went to a better resort on 5th day, but waited nearly 2 hours for last bus home. Dead busy and everyone pushed on- as I was at front of queue I shouted at bus driver that I was on that bus and if necessary I would throw someone off the bus! Totally showed myself up! To add insult to injury I left my ski on back of bus so had to wait for it to go around again to face same bus driver to retrieve lost ski! Why my kids find me embarrassing I will never know!

And hubby got flu after 3 days skiing! Holiday from hell!

Sorry Sued,
But I found that really funny, leaving your ski on the bus :lol:

It sounds just like the sort of thing I do.

Sorry the holiday was so awful though.

Here we go,

Third day of first season in the states,

Dropped of something a little to big with a flat landing, ending up front flipping with my legs coming over the wrong way. Thought i'd broke some ribs so skied down to the medical centre, after x rays found out i'd broke my back in two places.

3 weeks in Vail hospital and 6 months in a body brace lots of fun lol, note to self dont jump of things with a flat landing anymore

Insure & Go saved me with the medical bills, i'd still be washing up if i didn't have insurance

Mattyc,
That's really awful. Not at all funny. It was a good thing you went down to the medical centre. Are you okay now?

Can laugh about it now lol, apart from losing an inch in height due to crushed vertebrae i'm all fixed, still love my skiing though.

buggering both knees on the first day of the holiday and having to sit around waiting all day for company :cry:
and having two injections twice a day
and being in constant pain
and spending the whole week worrying that I wouldn't be able to ski on our next holiday 12 weeks later (which I didn't)

actually, looking for advice then was the reason I joined this site so every cloud and all that :thumbup:

edit: mattyc, insure and go sorted me out too so thumbs up to them

Caron-a,
What a horrible holiday :cry: I'm glad you're okay now. Have a great holiday in Obergurgl!

Thanks Ally! Even three years on the kids still talk about it! You know how you lose it with someone because you will never see them again! It was when my son said where is your other ski mum and my heart just sank! Humiliation or what! I honestly would have punched someone if I hadn't got on the bus after waiting for 2 hours. It was my only chance to get back to the resort. Message to self- ALWAYS take mobile phone!
