 Poster: A snowHead
|
@Hurtle, this forum appeared at just the right time for me, as I was considering a season in the Alps. The information gained (and the offer of a flat) made the whole process much more of a practicable possibility. The best lesson I've ever had was from a fellow snowHead a few weeks ago which allowed me to recover my confidence and enjoy the slopes that much more.
I do wish I'd started at the age of 8 rather than 28.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Ken you should get to VdI for the Monoski World Cup, held on the last week of the season each each.
It's actually a fun event for seasonaires, but is also taken quite seriously.
You've just missed this year but worth noting for next year.
The rest... I would like to have done a season, but may yet do one. I've got the perfect pad and am glad I didn't buy earlier when I couldn't afford what I have. Actually, no regrets at all.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I have a few, not particularity major but:
* I wish I had included a season when I took my career break in 2001, back then Diving was more important
* Getting into off-piste earlier - thinking that it was only for the ski gods where in reality my technique was good enough years back, but not my confidence.

I joined after I'd only done a week of skiing, so in that respect was quite early, but I didn't really pay enough attention for the first season. It wasn't until I went on the MYAsH Bash2 that I actually started taking note of advice etc. and by that time I was on week 5 and already thought I could ski. Now with each trip I will improve my skiing, but also realise that I'm not as good as I thought.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'd have become an investment banker when I was 22 instead of a bartender.

This except substitute "earlier" for "when I started skiing"

Regret no mountains near Croydon when I was as a kid... And not getting a ski apartment earlier...
Very glad I concentrated in French lessons at school, did a season, skied with the local boys from the ski shop who took me off piste... and I met my wife 🤣
