Is there any shame in.....

Update!

Well I got up and was first in the queue for the DMC, got myself up to pic blanc.
Following all advice that the sarene is at best only a stiff red I gave it a go.
Remember I have never done a black before.
Bad move.
At the top there is a narrow section that is only about 3 feet wide. When I saw that, bumpy and steep drops off to the side I was in trouble.
No going back....no going forward.
I gave it a go and fell about 100 feet to the mogul field below. I'm sure I have it on gopro too.
Skis came off, lost poles. But managed to slide safely to a stop.
Some kind fella picked up my kit and chased me down.

I was ok, thought I'd broke my finger but it seems ok.

Skis back on I tackled the moguls down to the glacier chair and took it back to the pic blanc and rode the cable car down, slightly shaken.

More shame. The only one in the cable car coming down. Having to push my way out against the crowd going up.

No shame in that we all have the odd tumble, but remember don't bite off more than you can chew
as it can dent your confidense .... bon ski

Hi Snapzzz

I'm not ready for cruises or ballroom dancing just yet.
My shame will continue as ive just ordered a shandy....who knows what will happen now!

Hi Snapzzz,
I'm sorry to say it, but I've been enjoying your diary of shame as well :oops:

I expect most people do the same things as you - like get sore legs because they haven't done enough exercise, and get slaughtered on a run that's too difficult for their skill level, but most people don't admit to it. I find your honesty most refreshing. Thank you :D

Best of luck tomorrow, and I will look forward to your update!

Ally

I am so looking forward to the next episode of Honest Snapzzz Diary of Shame.

I agree Ally, i suspect most people have moments of shame too....but don't admit to it. I just don't care. xx
