 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've been bitten by the bug.......
My previous experience of skiing was going on a school ski trip about 10 years ago to Austria for a week and visiting Sheffield Ski village and Xscape about 4 or 5 times since then. About 8 months ago I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to move with my girlfriend from the UK to Zürich in Switzerland. My girlfriend has about the same amount of skiing experience as me so in the summer we decided that due to where we are living, it would be crazy not to try to get back into it. We joined the international Ski club of Zürich which we start in January for a day of lessons every weekend for 4 weeks but having bought some kit, yesterday we decided to get the train to one of the local resorts. We both had the most amazing day and fell strait back into it and spent about 7 hours on the blue runs of Flumserberg (although I'm paying for it today, I feel a bit like I've been run over)
We're going back to the UK on Friday for 2 weeks but I can't wait to get back on the mountain. I think I may have found my calling...............
I look forward to meeting all of you Snowheads,
Matt.

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

Hello MattM, It's a weird feeling - the hunger to ski - it's an ache. Gets worse as the season approaches.
I've only got 3 and a half days skiing this winter, Chamonix in Feb, so the ache is gonna get worse and worse then somehow I've got to control everything and get the most from three days. How is that possible?
Just looked on the Cham webcam and its chukkin down with snow in the town centre! Aaaaaah.
