Off Topic Skiing

Any of you boys been?

I’m off for the first time in Jan to Les Alpes D’huez and really don’t know what to expect apart from snow.

My mate skis so we are all inclusive so that if I lose my rag I can just get pissed instead for a week.

Any of you boys been?

Anyone bee where I’m going?

 

I don't fancy skiing but would love a blast at snowboarding. Followed by loadsa alcohol of course. Enjoy it Chippy.

 

Closest I've been was eating a yogurt

 

Not since I was 13 on a school trip. Was great then though.

 

Tried it once. Dislocated my shoulder. Was only the dry slope in castleford

 

Nah! Though would be happy in the bar at the bottom

 

I think I'd be very good at it though

 

I just don't understand it tbh

They invented skis so the people struggling in snow could get about! Not because they thought I hate dry land and want to create myself a problem !

Why don't the skiers just go somewhere where it's not snowing a walk or drive down the hill.

 

Cos then it would be called walking mate.

 

Exactly

Its like making a bike with square wheels to me abd using it to ride down steps

 

You will absolutely love it.

 

It looks unnecessarily dangerous to me ! Just have a little patience don't be lazy abd walk to the destination. Why risk death?

I say the same kind off thing to people planning on doing parachute jumps and trying to get me involved .. I say the second your shoot doesn't open you'll think oh **** why did I do this I couldve just stayed on the ground.. and remember I said that.

 

My very first job when I was sixteen was a ski instructor. First morning, i crashed and broke my ankle. It was all downhill after that

 

Imagine paying an instructor and him breaking his leg ha I'd ask for id and evidence of his qualifications

 

My problem is, I don’t have patience and can easily see me having a meltdown on day 1 cos I cannot do it then just saying ‘**** it’.

 

If you get the hang of it just remember it can be risky. Just ask Schumaker.

 

Hire a jcb arrive and start casually removing the snow off the slopes.

 

Would suggest some dry slope lessons first. Otherwise you're gonna spend your holiday 3ft up the nursery slope learning to do a snow plough. Also it'll help get your muscles used to it.

 

If anyone takes exception explain to them that that's what we ate trained to do in England... ie eliminate any opportunity for family fun to occur, clear snow and go to work even if it involves snow that isn't officially your snow.

 

Take plenty of grit
