 Poster: A snowHead
|
For most of us going skiing means going on holiday (or taking a vacation if you're from the colonies  ), so the question is probably, 'What don't you like about skiing holidays?'
When I'm on holiday (and even when I'm not), I like having a lie in, so having to get up early in the mornings is what I dislike about skiing.

+1 - one reason why this warm season has been good!
Lift queues - I don't do queues. I've rarely had to do them, but if the kind of chaos I encountered at Le Tour one low season (ages to buy a damned ticket, then ages to get onto the lift.....) was an inevitable part of skiing I really wouldn't bother.

The skiing bit is fine.
The holiday bit is cr*p.
(Normally. But on our trip to Niederau a few weeks ago, it actually felt like a holiday....)

Feeling hot when skiing - I hate having to take my jacket off - nowhere to put all the bits I carry in my many pockets.

It's terrible now that prices have come down to a point that the commoners can get onto the mountain. If only the prices would go back up again, we'd be left to mix with our own class unimpeded
