Glencoe! A short trip report, GOOD SKIING IN SCOTLAND!!!!

Fri, 6 Mar 2009 19:38:27 GMT

A day in the life of Pablo Escobar.

Wake up, check if the packing fairy has left my stuff in the hallway.

Put stuff in car, triple check nothing has been forgotten (forget key item here)

From here to the next photo it took me 45 minutes!
Kit up!

Check out the wildlife

I was happy to be skiing :D

Rusty, not skied for a while

That's more like it! (Trencher, take a look and see what I mean :lol: :lol: :evil: )

I like this photo

3-unintentional forward roll in deep snow

I have none of getting home due to just wanting to be back. Went via the Drovers inn which I highly recommend!

Skied 9-2 on powder/heavy powder snow. Getting cruddy towards the end of the day. Skied all the way back to the carpark which is 800m of vert.

I had it all ready in the porch with the radiator on so my boots would be nice and toasty to put in the car but apparently there was no need for the porch radiator to be on and my stuff was moved inside :lol:

How come you don't fall over, leaning over like that? Don't they have gravity in Scotland then?

The snow looks amazing.

Where do you order packing fairies? I could do with a couple next time I go on holiday. They seem to do a very neat job.

Lovely photos,
Thanks,

Ally

Good pics, weel done.

Drovers Inn, now you are talking. Does it still have the stuffed bear in the hallway, with stuffing hanging out? The same guy wearing a greasy kilt, and a grunt for a welcome?

When I stayed there, with cracked washbasin and curled up lino, opened the bedroom door in the morning, and there was a peacock on the landing! I recommend to anyone.

The stuffed Golden Eagle. That was on the menu when I stayed there! Waitress sounds to be an improvement on greasy man though.

Fantastic 1970s' jacket and racing pants in the car park.

My ski mates and I often like to while away cable car and chairlift trips with a daft competition to spot skiers in 1970s/80s dayglo gear etc.

That spot would have been worth 10 points!!!

Well, I think you're all very mean. Up until last year I was wearing my daughter's old, cheap, black teenage size salopettes, and my normal everyday waterproof jacket, because ski clothes are so expensive, and I was walking around Borovets in welly boots (came in handy when the snow all melted and there were huge puddles everywhere!). I dare say if you'd seen me I'd have been worth a photo.

Up to date designer ski wear is very expensive. My daughter made me buy some new stuff last year, because I was an 'embarassment'.

What's wrong with old stuff, as long as it functions O.K.?

Ally, riding down on the chair at the end of the day I was getting a bit cold and damp, my ski stuff isn't exactly 'the best designed gear' but I would bet he came near to being soaked through if he skied all day and cold too. Ski stuff that old and that well used probably doesn't work as well as it could.

Your sallys were black, hardly worthy of a photograph. Welly boots are awesome.

Sat, 7 Mar 2009 13:22:06 GMT

Ian, what's supposed to be wrong with that C&A top? It looks fine to me.

Pablo, it's very kind of you to say there was nothing wrong with my black salopettes, but you never actually saw them. I remember my instructor trying to pull the elastic inner bit over my ski boots, and it wouldn't reach, because they were meant for an 11 year old, and it was a tiny bit embarassing.

I was wearing wellies in Borovets because it was after I'd broken my shoulder on the dry ski slope, and I wasn't ski-ing. So, I followed my 9 year old daughter's beginners class around the slopes (which I know you're not supposed to do) because she had a horrid instructor who refused to help the children up when they fell, even when they were only 7 years old and crying, and I was a bit like their lifeboat - even though I only had one useful arm. On that long blue run that's probably a road, I had to pick up a kid on every bend, in my wellies, with one arm in a sling.

The rest of the Bulgarian ski instructors were great - one very kindly said 'very good walking', as he skied past me.

Ally, that is actually Ians top and he likes it.. he was not joking about!

Everyone has to start somewhere and as long as folks are getting in to skiing it doesn't matter how they do it but good kit is available very cheaply especially with ebay on the go (amanda will testify to this) everyone should be equipped to a point where they are warm and dry at all times otherwise being on the mountains becomes unsafe.

As for the instructor, that is pretty out of order IMO. Did you pull your daughter from the class or ask for a change of instructor?

Pablo,
I was warm and dry so I suppose the kit was O.K.

I spoke to the instructor to find out what her problem was, and it turned out she had a major grudge against British pcople, and as far as I could see she was taking it out on the kids.

She was very well qualified, at a Bulgarian university, and had previously had a well paid job at a bank in England, and had an English boyfriend, but she wasn't allowed to stay in the U.K. because her visa ran out, and they weren't allowed to get married because they had to live together first, and she was very angry about it (this was about 6 years ago). And I suppose the only job available to her was being a ski instructor, which in Bulgaria at the time was very badly paid.

She thought our kids were soft, and spoiled, compared with the Bulgarian kids, and she deliberately made things very hard for them. I was cross with her, because one of the kids, a 7 year old boy, was crying, and gave up ski-ing, and I found out from his mother that he'd been born premature and had had a really tough time and I think was deaf in one ear with a special hearing aid.

I did complain to the TO rep and she said that woman would never be teaching ski-ing to kids again. I wanted my daughter to have fun, and enjoy ski-ing, so that we could go on ski-ing holidays together in the future. As it was, because I was there to help, and pick her up (as well as all the other kids), she did ski again and is now a very good skier, miles better than me. At one point, I actually had to walk up the side of a very icy slope and rescue the poor kids because they were all stuck, and half of them were crying, and I got them all out safely through the trees and back down to the instructor.

Perhaps in a way it was fortunate that I did break my shoulder or I never would have known what was going on, and I would have just wondered why my daughter didn't want to ski any more.

AllyG thats appalling how the kids were treated, did you not get any support from tour reps? She would certainly have heard from me if she treated my lad like that. Also nowt wrong with wellies, would be lost without mine, even if they are pink/purple and blue.........now thats fashion :oops:

Re:Glencoe! A short trip report, GOOD SKIING IN SCOTLAND!!!!

Sat, 7 Mar 2009 14:07:23 GMT

Rose,
I think the problem was, the other mothers didn't see what was going on, because they were off ski-ing in their own lessons, and if the kids complained I suppose they just thought they were whingeing about nothing.

The last day at one point nearly all the children had had enough, and they went on strike and refused to ski, and sat in the snow making a snowman. The instructor complained to me about it, and I said I thought she ought to give them some time off, and let them play. And do you know, afterwards my daughter said that making that snowman was the most fun thing she did all holiday.

The mother of the 7 year old boy who was deaf in one ear, complained to her rep about it, but I don't think there was another available lesson and/or teacher.

Ally

Re:Glencoe! A short trip report, GOOD SKIING IN SCOTLAND!!!!

Sat, 7 Mar 2009 14:36:14 GMT

You certainly have to be a certain type of person to teach any kids sport. You have to be patient, kind but at the same time strict enough to get the best out of them. My son is a tennis coach and teach's kids and adults but even he has amazed me how patient he is with particularly the 4yr olds. He only has to clap his hands and the litle boys just stand and focus on him and the little girls just stand and go all bashful around him, its amazing to watch. Wish I could just have clapped my hands when he was little.

Re:Glencoe! A short trip report, GOOD SKIING IN SCOTLAND!!!!

Sat, 7 Mar 2009 14:49:25 GMT

Well, you must have done something right Rose, or he wouldn't have turned out so well.

And, to return to the original subject, how could anyone eat that much and then ski afterwards? I mean, I would find it impossible to move.

Yes he turned out OK. Its such a shame I am watching a bit of Davis Cup tennis right now and he regularly used to beat one of the players playing at the moment when they were about 12 or 13. Guess his parents had a lot more money than me to let them carry on. :cry:

Re:Glencoe! A short trip report, GOOD SKIING IN SCOTLAND!!!!

Sat, 7 Mar 2009 15:44:53 GMT

Rose,
But would you really want him playing competitive tennis at that level? It must be very stressful. Teaching tennis sounds much more rewarding, and is more of a long term job.

My daughters used to be in the local swimming squad, and some of the parents were very pushy, and they used to drive their kids from one gala to another, and eat tea and supper in the car, and spend all weekend sitting at the side of a pool somewhere watching them and timing them with stopwatches and yelling at them.

In other words, in order to succeed at the top level you have to make a lot of sacrifices (plus presumably as you said have some money, or find some sponsors).

I would have loved him to play at top level, he certainly had the talent. I used to use all my holidays and weekends driving him around, but in the world of tennis when you regularly beat the lads in this country you have to start playing abroad to pick up more ranking points, to get into bigger tournaments. Thats when it just got so expensive. But turned out well in the end. Currently he does 40 private lessons a week as well as 6 group sessions.

Sat, 7 Mar 2009 15:57:27 GMT

Rose,
Well, it sounds like it worked out O.K. for both of you, in the end. I can see why you have some regrets though, thinking of what could have been.

Neither of my daughters were especially good at swimming, but they did improve in the squad, and it was good exercise for them, and it was very cheap.

Ally
