Best ski day of my life

It has been a while since I've offered any "chatter" but today I have to. Absolutely have to !!!! We all can remember the best day we have had on skis and today was my best! Dave Mac ...listen closely ... you may be a tad jealous after my story. Your name came up on the Jordon Bowl chair left at Sunday River today. I do like to brag when I get a chance.....

OK enough rambling. I had the most distinguished privilege to ski with the Great One! The Great One who has offered such helpful advice to all of us. I skied with Pavel !!!! Yes that's correct ...Pavel and I skied together this afternoon!! Well ... I followed. Near the end of one ride up we talked about you Dave .... all good comments - of course.

The skiing was wonderful and let me assure all of you Pavel has not only great advice ... he has vast amounts of patience and guidance. Today I was 4 years old again..... Well he told me that ... I couldn't ski then either !! Maybe there was a message in that comment !! But I feel more like 94 right now. I hope one day, you all get to experience an afternoon skiing with Pavel. It is an experience that I know I will never forget. Today's skiing was a bit more intense than yesterday's when both my wife and I skied with Pavel and his friends. Two days both my wife and I will never forget !! If you happen to see this note Pavel .... Thank you ... thank you ....one hundred-thousand thank yous!!

Good for you mike.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

You lucky man :P

He exists then? Good work, sounds like you are beaming!

He is top man ... lucky you :thumbup:

Thanks for your comments guys .....I do indeed feel very lucky. The weather here has been perfect and 20cms expected tonight. Pavel took time from his 3 friends to enlighten me in skiing technique. He's a difficult person to keep up with. He tried to have me follow a mere 3 meters behind him down a trail about 6 times. That lasted about 2 seconds and he was gone. One short stretch I was starting to catch on but by then my thighs were burnt out and wouldn't co-operate. Yes he exists and this morning my wife and I happened to ride the chondola in the car before the happy quartet. We greeted them at the top with a boisterous "Bonjour mes amies!!" I would post a photo of this moment -- "The Arrival" -- but Pavel would not appreciate that.... so this will not happen !

Mike.
Did you literally bump into him or did you arrange to meet? If not, how did you know it was him?
And where does he actually hail from? I had come to the conclusion he was Slovakian or something?
He certainly comes across as some kind of figure from a fairy tale sometimes!

Well done Mike. Pavel and I keep saying to each other - "One day"! I have the same regular conversation with a retired Austrian world cup skier ~ of course that will be much easier to arrange!

Pav & I are both still young in skiing terms, so there is a good chance!

We have viewed each other ski videos, so we both know what to expect!

Would that Trencher was there also!
