Hate skiing!!

14. Badly drawn up piste maps where either the grade/colour of the piste is wrong (in my opinion) or the layout is wrong.

People moan about putting their boots on in the mornings - keep them warm and they slip on much easier. If you can't get your fit straight in you're doing something wrong.

I prefer not to have to walk far to get a lift, but its all part of the scene if you have to or jump on a bus. Theres a sense of excitement every morning for me no matter what I'm doing or where I am.

I do have a dislike of queuing for lifts, which is why I'm always up early to get up and away before any crowds, or why I always ski at non peak weeks avoiding holiday periods.

Boarders? No, I don't hate them at all. Ok theres banter, but you have to respect each other. A good boarder off piste looks amazing. HOWEVER I do get annoyed when they sit right over the brow of a hill right across the slope. Why do they do that? Thats when they get a sharp turn and plenty of snow across their backs :wink:

I don't like it when whoever i am skiing with wants to finish early, but I usually end up doing a few runs on my own if thats the case.

I don't even mind packing, its all part of the fun, even coming back. Its a precise military operation packing the ski bags anyway.

Coach journeys up mountain roads.....for the spectacular views you get, why not?

I guess the only thing that really gets me down is coming home and knowing someone else is out there on the snow. But I dont hate it. I just come on here, or look on webcams, or read books, etc etc.

You lot all know what I mean, you've all got the same illness anyway 8)
