 Poster: A snowHead

An opportunity to share what we were doing a year ago today and to look forward to when the slopes open again. Oh how I’ll never take a day skiing for granted ever again....
For me it was first day on the slopes having driven down to Grenoble the day before. Picked my daughter and friend up at Grenoble airport in the morning and after struggling up the mountain during a snow storm were on the lifts in Tignes by early afternoon. Limited lifts open so stuck to the freebies. Still an excellent day.

@brovert, don't remind me - a year ago today I was lying in an Austrian hospital with a 15cm cut in my leg caused by a fall onto the edge of my ski. https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=150033
This year I'm wearing a nice plastic boot as a result of a snapped Achilles tendon caused during rugby training. https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=153839
Next year I expect to be wrapped in cotton wool throughout December in the hope that I can have Christmas without medical assistance. A mid-December skiing trip is definitely on the cards, especially if this year is a write-off.

Yup! In spades.
Not just skiing (but mostly the skiing!), but how many simple things make up quality of life and are taken for granted. The ability to catch up with friends, perhaps at a bar, go out for a dinner, go for a long bike ride, going to gym, drive out into the country for a hike or lunch, not be uneasy about someone sitting next to you in a tram, make plans for the future...

@skimastaaah, you can only say that if you were born north of the Clyde - when you play hard, you occasionally get damaged

I was on the wind down for Family Christmas on the slopes in Sauze D'Oulx, at the time it felt indulgent as we were back in Folgarida in early January. Looking back, lucky to get my 2 weeks in last year!

Year ago? Wishing away the days before my wife retired 28 Feb and we went skiing for the month of March. We managed 2 weeks, double any previous duration, so not a total blowout.

A year ago today we were enjoying a family week in Corvara, with my son in morning lessons, meeting up for a leisurely lunch then skiing together in the afternoon. We were contemplating attempting the Sella Ronda on our last day when his lessons were over, but unsure he’d be able to manage it (we didn’t try it in the end). We should have been back there this week but it wasn’t to be.

A year ago today... first lift up, fresh tracks for a couple of hours before driving to Lyon where we left the car and flew back to the UK for Christmas for the week. Cracking week.

A year ago - drove out to Chatel for a decidedly average (actually not even that good) week. Came back with a raging cold, nasty persistent cough and didn’t really get back to 100% for over a month. Mrs DJL the same.
Makes you wonder.........
