I retired in July 2007, and lucky me, with a public sector pension and lump sum, which, I have told the wife, I am now 'investing' in skiing (much better return in pleasure than a miserly 1%)). Long before Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freedman's Bucket List I had knocked up my list of things to do and places to go on retirement. Top of the list was skiing but I wasn't sure whether or how I could get started at 60 and who I could go with. Jim took sympathy on me and invited the 'old fart' to La Plagne with 3 of his mates, and now I am hooked. Got invited to Meribel last year with a chalet group of 16 thirtysomethings, (that was an eyeopener !!) and another group of 16 to St Anton in January this year and now planning a second trip in March. The J2SKI responses to my questions on St Anton were invaluable. Like many others have commented, I am also addicted to this site - is there a J2SKI Anonomous therapy session available to help we poor souls ?
