Hate skiing!!

Just thought of another FEAR

Sitting on a chairlift dangling feet as per Trencher above. Worried that my bindings will come undone and my ski drop to the ground :roll:

Then there is the one that gets me on Gondalas. Putting my ski on the outside of the gondola. Everytime we go over a pylon and the gondola shakes I am convinced that my skis are going to fall out. I am a nervous wreck all the way up.

Then I panic that I wont be able to shuffle out fast enough and pick up my ski and I will go down again :shock:

In summary .........

Inconsiderate, thoughtless b******s - whatever age and nationality!

:mrgreen:

Not much different to anywhere else really

Ever thought of taking up crochet Icy???

You may be better suited :oops:

Imagine if I got together with Ally and her list of about 15 worries....we would be a nervous wreck!!

People must have lost their skis at sometime :roll:

That heart stopping moment when you are at speed and the skier below you who is heading towards the edge of the piste and about to turn (but you are sure he will turn before you get there) and you think you will overtake him between the point he turns and the edge of the piste.
But the bugger goes right to the edge.....and you have to slam the anchors on.

I had a little experience of that, this year at the top of "The White Eggs" (L2A). We were chatting and looking at the pistes on the one side, didn't pay any attention to the skis the other. As I got out I grabbed the kids' skis first and then turned to get mine.... "heart in mouth moment"...they weren't there.


....then I saw him with them in hand....As the car had come into the station a 'liftie' had been tucked behind a screen, so I hadn't seen him. He'd obviously grabbed mine as the doors were opening and then stepped back.

still not sure if he was trying to help or playing a little devil's trick. :evil: I suspect it was fun for him!

I bet your heart sank!! :(
