1st went to Glenshee when I was about 16 but didn't learn to ski there - I was perfecting my balance. :oops:
At university it was a choice between skiing and paragliding, skiing won out.
Gave it a miss until about three years back and have been out yearly since.
How did every-one start skiing?

At the time 18-30 Ski was pretty unique in having plenty of sole occupancy places without surcharges. The rep tried hard to get us into the discos and party stuff, but failed as everyone was there to ski :D
Is that what you crazy kids called it :wink:
About the kids bit...there were a few slapheads, and this was before it became marginally fashionable :lol: :lol: :lol:
YYYYAAAWWWWnnnnnn :wink:
He was great, I might even go to BKK just because of FK :wink:

Like Ian W, I was off school with the flu when Franz K flew down the mountain at Innsbruck in 1976. I then badgered my parents to let me go on a school trip and away I went to Monte Bondone near Trento in Italy (in 1978 or 1979). It wasn't too long before I decided I would do a season, but had to wait until 1990 for that pleasure to come about and that one led to 5 in Meribel. I'm not sure the desire to spend season's has ever been extinguished, but currently happy enough with one or two weeks away seeing my little boy learning.
