Love this @rayscoops, culture shock for many finding the article in the Welsh language!
I found the item interesting, I know Port Dinorwig well but I have never heard of Alan.

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

Met him years ago on a BASI course and have seen him around Tignes on the odd occasion late season - a gentleman.

I met him in Courchevel in about 1993. Delighted to hear he's still teaching.

He was our very first ski instructor in Courchevel many years ago and have bumped into him a couple of times since.
“Linger longer in the fall line” will always stay with me.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@altis, And Alan would credit those immortal lines to Colonel Maurice Willoughby, another fascinating character who only narrowly escaped death at the St Moritz Olympics when a Swedish competitor had a negligent discharge with his weapon in the pentathlon.

Alan was manager and chief instructor at Gloucester when I worked there at weekends in the mid to late 70s. He had a pair of those revolutionary Hanson rear-entry boots back then! Good bloke and I learnt a lot about skiing from him. Very glad to see he is still going strong.
