It’s Official. We are the worst skiers on the slopes. Well, if it is not official, then it ought to be. We have spent enough effort making sure that we struggle down all slopes, being overtaken by 3 year olds and generally upsetting the flow of the skiers gracefully and skilfully gliding down the Piste.
However, there are moments, when this is in doubt. I nearly overtook a ski instructor today with two 4 year olds, before they decided to ski off down to the end Station. Occasionally we witness a skier out for the first or second time, when we can enjoy a brief moment of triumph.
There are many consolations. We enjoy being outside. We stop frequently to look at the snow covered mountains. Even on a gloomy day like today, the scenery is spectacular (unless the light is so bad that you don’t know if you are moving or not).
So we will continue to plod up and down, trying not to annoy the snowboarders too much and dreaming of black runs (very difficult) and other ski resorts waiting to be conquered.
