 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello, I've posted on a few threads but realised I've not introduced myself. Hello 
In 2 weeks I'm off on my 4th trip in 20 years (my word that makes me feel old). Did a week in Austria to start with, followed by a week in France 10 years later and a weekend in Andorra 7 years ago. This will be a 4 night break in Morzine and I can't wait.
As the trip gets closer I am getting ever more excited and scared at the same time. I had hoped to get along to Hemel for a session or 2 but that never happened so I've done the sensible thing and booked a lesson at Brentwood dry slope for the morning. Here's hoping I can still stand at the end of it.

The long gaps between trips were certainly not through choice, I'd go every year if I could.
My wife came along to the second trip but didn't like it, unfortunately. Since then we've had 2 kids and the youngest is very jealous of my upcoming trip and is desperate to try skiing so I might have a bit more leverage next year.

Nunfa1, Can't she fund the summer one (why ones) and you take the kids off her hands for a ski trip every winter. It's a win win.

Well that went surprisingly well. A 1 hour lesson at Brentwood dry slope, which still had a little bit of ice and snow on it. The distant memories of ski instructors yelling "lean forward" at me came flooding back.

It's a leap of faith leaning forward on a slope when every bit of your being tells you "don't throw yourself down the mountain like that, it's gonna hurt!!" isn't it - glad it went well and hope you have a fab time.

I don't like to sound critical or personal, but what kind of insanity drove you to marry a non-skier?

FAQ
And because the wife doesn't enjoy skiing I won't get away with cutting back on summer holidays to fund winter ones.
