I am going to Zell am See a week on Saturday and I am also a little concerned! Spoke to ski school yesterday and he promised me the conditions were great- but then again he was never going to say they were rubbish!
When I went last year the snow depth was double what it is today and I could walk on the frozen lake. But it never stopped snowing- the snow was mogulled and it was the hardest snow I have ever skiied. The pistes are groomed whatever the depth of snow- you always ski on the top bit! But I do not like to see any green when all I want to see is the white stuff! |

Two years ago I hurt my hamstrings going down a steep red I was not able to do on 2nd day. 3rd day was great and caused me no problem but that was the last day I skiied as was too painful and I was scared I could do some real damage. Took about 2 weeks to sort itself out when I got home, but I remember feeling very unhappy that I wasn't able to ski- admiring the scenery is good- but not the same!

Well done! I did my first black last year and you think I had climbed Mount Everest- I felt on top of the world! It didn't matter that it was in fact easier than some blues and reds I had previously skiied- it was BLACK! And I will always remember it.

Trouble with eyes is horrible- it will get better but how long is a bit of string! My husband is an optometrist so I have prisms I can wear but my eyes start shaking- not a good look! I have just had 3g of steroids and things are improving but not quickly enough for my ski holiday. Still 10 days is a long time! Sue

Thanks Ally! I am very torn between being mature or letting rip! But I having health problems and there is still a big question mark whether I will be able to ski at all! I would really struggle to see him again but my health comes first so I will ignore him. The whole experience is very painful.
I am going with my husband and daughter who are not doing ski school. I am as I still have so much to learn and nothing will stop me. I am struggling with double vision and if that doesn't improve then it makes skiing impossible as the light is causing my eyes problems! Tough life sometimes! |

It is shocking to hear everybody's bad news-bad start to New Year. I also want to smack someone at the moment! I have suffered the most hideous abuse at the hands of..my ski instructor ''friend'' who I will see in Austria in 10 days time. Some things in life happen for a reason. Not this one- it has left me in pieces and I haver never met such a person ever. But you can always learn and move on and sometimes the worst things can actually turn out to be the best- just give it time! Good luck!

PCThug- I like your style! I am a slightly mad Geordie lass and will give most things a try! I admire your spirit! I have done everything by the book and for for the last 4 year's have had a week's instruction whilst skiing- but I fall down- a lot!! I aked my kids why this was so and the answer was that I was just rubbish! Very true! But sometimes you can get bogged down with what to do and what not to do. You might have started skiing in a less conventional manner than most- but after safety, enjoyment of the sport is the most important. Personally, I love it! :D

Thanks Wickers! I always try and stay positive which can be very annoying! You would think I would be laid back but it has just made me even more determined- especially when I am well and with MS you really don't know when the bad times are coming. Maybe they never will! This time my coordination is effected slightly but my legs are behaving relatively normal so I should ski! My skiing and coordination are not very finely tuned anyway but that will be me on the slopes- no style, not much skiing ability at all, but mostly in control and wearing the biggest smile you have ever seen! :D |
