No. 272
People who don't look up hill before they move off.

No. 273
Ski/Board Instructors who don't tell their pupils that it's important to look up hill before they move off.

Things that annoy me.....

The fact that the German Railway is charging me a tenner more than my mate to get to Zermatt and back.

He has a Bahncarg 25 giving 25% discount
I have a Bahncard 50 giving 50% discount

His fare 88 EUR
Mine 98 EUR

WTF is that all about????

Not just instructors with beginner groups either. I Have watched instructor clinics where everyone is so focused on the coach below, that they set off at intervals across the slope without looking up hill.

I know, it beggars belief. If they had the same attitude whilst crossing the road they'd all be dead.

That's a relief! I do think that your feeling is real not imagined, and where you were skiing, has a large part to play in the level of anticipation of trouble.

The safest place to ski is off piste...
