I still wouldn't ski it. I go skiing for the exhilaration not to terrify myself. |

I didn't think the Hari Kiri looked as ominous as all the PR makes it out to be. It's a very short run with only the middle third being the very steep difficult bit.

And my new favourite drink - Zillertaler Pils. Yum!

Yep. It was an epic hike but I was in no condition to ski and it was the only way off the mountain. But, I had to get back to it the next day as there was no way my head was going to get the better of me. I've only been on skis a very short time and only once a year at that and so long as I progress year on year I'm happy. Absolutely loved Mayrhofen and next year's target is to have 2 ski holidays. Easy for me, not so easy for OH to get off work. May have to arrange a boys trip. :D |

I think it was based on your earlier 'Thanks, but no thanks' post

I follow your program Trencher. As I only ski once a year, I always have a couple of morning lessons but usually on day 2 & 3. This lets me blow the cobwebs out and try to get the legs back in as best I can on day 1 before going for the lessons. I was still very rusty this year by the time lesson day came but after a couple of runs doing exercises to improve my turns it all came back to me. By the end of day 3 I'd advanced from last year's successes and felt ready for more challenging runs and that's all I want to achieve, just a small progression year on year.
My annual snow holiday includes doing some skiing, it's not all about the skiing. |
