Poster: A snowHead
|
Me and my mini daughters (well 19 and 15 so not so mini) are of to Tamworth tonight for the 8-11pm session, my first go on skis in just over 2 years after this https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?p=3013373 so not sure how long I will last but don't think I've ever been quite so excited about fridge skiing!
Is anyone else going? Say hello if you spot me (will have a red British Nordic ski supporter softshell on)

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

I was tempted to use the theatre phrase, but will stick with the usual "Good Luck!", hope it goes well and take it easy, at least until you get your ski legs back

Thanks both. Lasted a couple of hours before the metalwork in my ankle stated to make its presence felt. though just back from seeing the surgeon and that will be gone in a couple of weeks or so and he say once the stitches are out I just need to avoid hight impact use of my ankle for a few months till the bone has time to fill the screw holes and I'm pretty sure safely ensconced in my ski boot my ankle will be safe!

Not bad at all, a bit busy 8-9 with early stage lessons on the bottom 1/3, and a few folks obviously just cleared for recreational skiing all over the place, 9-10 still a few lessons going on but far less, 10- I came off about ten past but probably no more than 15 or so left on including a few of the instructors having the blast, the kids stayed on for another half hour or so and were having a great time just sending it straight down the slope occasionally slowing a bit to hit one or other of the jumps with no beginners to worry about as the dozen or so left on (so no more than 4 or 5 on slope at any one time) were all doing the same.
Probably good I decided to use the super soft hire skis as it took a good few runs to trust my knee to do its thing and I'm pretty sure the way it was going in the first hour my Storms would have spat me out into a heap on the floor several times!

@davkt, well done! A big milestone after your bad knee injury.
Onwards and upwards. Where next?

@PeakyB, Well given 15 year old is deserting us to head off to Sweden skiing with her friends family at Easter me and her 19 year old sister are hoping Scotland gets a bit of winter then will head up there for a few days, if not we will look at something high in Alps towards the end of the season.

@Masque, Yep, the screw heads are a pain! One I've been able to feel since the cast came off and is just an annoyance, the one next to it which is currently trying to do an Alien impression and burst out would have been a candidate for the angle grinder had the surgeon not agreed to to take it out.
