 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
I'm Chris from North Wales. Having started skiing a little bit later in life than many (at the age of 47) I'm now aged 55 and making some progress. I have done the Vallee Blanche and enjoy pisted black runs such as the Charles Bozon down from the Brevent. I am starting to learn off piste and still rather perplexed by moguls. I am a cautious skier since being self-employed I need to avoid time off work due to injury if possible.
I will be in Morzine 20-26 jan then plan to return later to Cham for a few days.
Would like to get in touch with skiers in the same age group.

 Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Chris_55, welcome to snowheads. You are a mere stripling at 55; I thought I was going to be reading about an octogenarian!

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

Thank you! I intend to still be skiing when I'm 80.
I do Snowdon or something similar most weeks (how fortunate I am to live here!) - so I'm keeping fairly fit for my age.
My knees are complaining a bit, but once I've put a pair of those neoprene knee gadgets on - the ones with a circular hole in the front - all is well.
Can anyone recommend an instructor in Morzine?
I need to work on my powder and mogul techniques.

Hi Mate,
I am 50 plus and ski 2 to 3 times a year.
Usually do low cost short breaks to Austria using Ryanair and trains.
My knees are also starting to give up though !!!
Cheers......

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Chris_55, try BASS in Morzine.
Quite understand the caution - mine is just so that I can keep on skiing!

immer schuss,
Hi, that sounds nice. I remember when I was 17, staying at the Taschach Hut (? spellling) above Solden in the Otztal, and doing several easy climbs from there including Wildspitze and Fluchtkogel. Do you know if that hut is still there? Can you ski in that area in winter?

Pamski,
Hi Pam, thanks for that, I think I will take your advice on that, I had some excellent tuition by Derek Tate at Cham 2 years ago, I didn't realise that they are in Morzine as well.
