Avoid Switzerland...there are so many, that everyone uses them anyway :D

Last weekend, there was a Swiss Blind Skiers Assoc in resort. Each blind skier wore a yellow jacket, and each helper a red jacket.

They ski all grades of slope, and use all lifts including Poma's and T-bar's. Some pretty impressive ski skills on display, and absolutely no complaints from them about flat light conditions.

The helper calls a turn direction and the blind skier responds and trusts the call. For the Poma, the helper travels on the one behind, and calls advice forward.

I followed the blind spanish ski team members in pas del la casa some years ago, it takes a lot for me to be gob smacked, but I was......totally breathtaking what the blind teams were doing :shock: :shock:

Snowed nearly every night and sunny most days.
Now I've said this before but this summer I WILL get really fit )

Well, I'm cycling this week 17 and one half miles, built up from last weeks 10.5 m, legs like tree trunks by the winter will be able to ski all day and night if I eat my carrots :wink:
