Oh yes, so they are, Dave Mac! I didn't think of that! :(

Or, if you live anywhere near London, Ebbs Fleet or Ashford so that you can get the Eurostar, you could get a night sleeper train from Paris to somewhere with a ski resort, and do the same on the way back.

I don't think it's worth having a row with your wife about. You could have lots of ski holidays for the cost of a divorce! ;)

If you're like me BB, you spend all your spare time looking at videos of past ski holidays and pretending you're still there ... :(

I might possibly fit in a visit to a snow dome before next year but that's about it :(

The other thing that helps, I find, is booking a ski holiday for next year ... :)

Thanks Andy, that was interesting looking at the video :)
There was loads of snow - I bet you had a job ski-ing under the branches!
How many people were in your group? There seemed to be several people following you around ;)
I'm glad you had a good time.

I think if I was you I'd carry on ski-ing, but just take all the precautions I could think of to avoid injury - like getting super fit (as OA said), having lessons, making sure I didn't ski for too long each day so I didn't get too tired etc.

I have broken my shoulder in a lesson on the dry ski slope, my big toe in a lesson on the snow on moguls, and damaged my shoulder in an off-piste lesson.

But it hasn't stopped me ski-ing! And luckily for me I have pretty much recovered from all my injuries :)

I think ski-ing is dangerous. You only have to look at the blood waggons on the slopes to realize that. But fortunately most of the injuries are relatively minor and people usually recover.

So, you have to either accept the level of risk and do your best to minimize it, or give up ski-ing and start doing something safer like playing tiddlywinks! ;)
