Sorry guys....no shame to report today.

Was up at dawn and hit the first lift into a total white out, i hate that. No trees to run to. The cloud was so thick you could not see the next marker pole.....slightly frightening and nausea inducing.
Anyway its cleared up now and its beautiful. Just enjoying a stella in the sun.
Decided to off ski's for the PM after clocking up some k's this morn. May slip them back on later for the night skiing.

I'm sorry to say it, but I've been enjoying your diary of shame as well :oops:

I expect most people do the same things as you - like get sore legs because they haven't done enough exercise, and get slaughtered on a run that's too difficult for their skill level, but most people don't admit to it. I find your honesty most refreshing. Thank you :D

Best of luck tomorrow, and I will look forward to your update!

I agree Ally, i suspect most people have moments of shame too....but don't admit to it. I just don't care. xx

Snow really slushy today low down in ADH. The sun has been beating down. +5 at resort level.
Lovely day though.

More snow forecast for tomorrow.

Love your day to day diary of shame, I do think a bit of Gym is in order before your next trip, Or maybe your body is telling you it's time to start taking a cruise ) ) )

I'm not ready for cruises or ballroom dancing just yet.
My shame will continue as ive just ordered a shandy....who knows what will happen now!

Update!

Well I got up and was first in the queue for the DMC, got myself up to pic blanc.
Following all advice that the sarene is at best only a stiff red I gave it a go.
Remember I have never done a black before.
Bad move.
At the top there is a narrow section that is only about 3 feet wide. When I saw that, bumpy and steep drops off to the side I was in trouble.
No going back....no going forward.
I gave it a go and fell about 100 feet to the mogul field below. I'm sure I have it on gopro too.
Skis came off, lost poles. But managed to slide safely to a stop.
Some kind fella picked up my kit and chased me down.

I was ok, thought I'd broke my finger but it seems ok.

Skis back on I tackled the moguls down to the glacier chair and took it back to the pic blanc and rode the cable car down, slightly shaken.

More shame. The only one in the cable car coming down. Having to push my way out against the crowd going up.

65 euro by helicopter, takes 4 mins
