Yet another vice
The last weekend saw me on my first-ever skiing holiday - and it’s
safe to say I have a new vice to consume my time and money.
Apparently the conditions were the best for a long time - they sure
seemed pretty good to me.
The first half of the first day was the level 1 lesson for
first-time skiers… a few hours later I was cautiously plowing
down an easy hill… a few goes later and I started on the main
slope at Smiggins… getting higher and higher… and going faster
and faster with each run. By the end of the first day I was
parallelling down from the top of the blue slope as fast as I could
go… barely in control.
Sounds a lot like the kind of sailing I do.
Day 2 was Perisher and Blue Cow, going down and back up
continuously all day. Plenty of stacks and plenty of
adrenalin.
If only I had more time to plan a trip to NZ, or Canada, or
Switzerland…
