Poster: A snowHead
|
I threw a suggestion into the pot yesterday, that we (being Gray and I) might just spend this morning at Bowles (our local...read 1hr away... dry slope). There wasn't a huge backlash of negativity, in fact, he seemed quite positive So the alarm buzzes this morning, and we drag ourselves out of bed to see clear blue skies.
We arrive at Bowles to lovely weather, get ourselves kitted up with the skis and onto the slope we go. I’d already said to him that as long as he did a couple of runs, I’d be happy. When he’d done enough, then so be it. After the first three or four runs, he retired to a bench and the boots were undone. I was sure that that was going to be it. But no! Back he came after 5 or so minutes!
I was amazed! He was off! Tentatively at first, but as each run passed, you could see his confidence growing. We stopped for a coffee break about an hour into it, and (… are you ready for this, those that know him…) amazingly, he was the first of eight or nine of us back out of the door to get onto the slope again!!
SZK. I have to thank you here and blow you a big virtual kiss! Although the tension in the feet were to blame for the first stop, after that, everything was fine. No pain across his feet, therefore less pressure on his legs attempting to offset the pain = therefore a husband on skis!
Not only was he finishing a run then immediately queuing up at the lift for the next, but I’ve also had the question:

How many more of those can we fit in before Morzine? |
I don’t think we’ve got the next Olympic champion here, but I do think that he just might be starting to enjoy it!
Oh – and of course I had great fun too!

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

Michelle, a possible result then. Having had painful feet for the last 2 or 3 seasons, and having had to stop skiing at lunchtime, messed up my long-awaited ladies only course in Whistler, etc., I can sympathise with him. It does not make skiing fun. Last year I went back to my old, comfy boots, and managed all day again. I have some new ones now, fitted by Easiskis' friend Cedric.

Excellent, another one converted to the slidy side. Keep up the good work on the dry slope Gray and you'll feel 10 times better on the real thing.

The Zoo? Is that to prepare her for the Animal Antics in March?

Gray - now is the time to ask Michelle to visit the virtual flight deck in full regalia and serve you any refreshments you request. All day. Go on... you deserve it.

Gray, And enjoy the relaxation afterwards. Oh (I know it's pretty basic) but I am becoming addicted to IL-2 Sturmovik and am currently flying through heavy cloud seaking out German tank positions

Michelle, It's only fair hehehe. He has made a supreme sacrifice, and thrown himself into it to the point where he has encompassed the situation so wholeheartedly that he has indeed begun to enjoy it.
Soooo.... you must cast your eyes down and swish that orange skirt as you leave the flight deck

Michelle, pre dinner tipplie, during dinner tipple, after dinner tipple....then what???
Scarpa, Yeah but kosciosco & Mrs K are going to be there too....things could get interesting!
