. The mood in this clip reflects perfectly how I feel.I was right there a few weeks ago
{quote} My wife was impressed to see the mountain from this birds eye view. She grew up skiing these ranges every weekend during the season. Just told me she got herself lost when she was very young skiing down the wrong side of the mountain.
{quote} Next year, I will do a "follow me" with the drone. That should be good! A few years ago, I was lost in a snowstorm up the top. Visibility was about a metre. I knew on one side of me was a sheer drop of several hundred metres and the other was the piste, but I had lost all orientation and was clueless which side was which. There were wooden posts alongside the piste and I clung onto one for about 45 minutes. I didn't dare move. Then out of nowhere someone came along and he carried my skis down a black run (that was the only way down) whilst...
{quote} Thanks for more ammunition (as if I needed it) for excuses to not go skiing with her :-) The closest she got to skiing this year was taking her 2 year old niece to make snow angels in the baby slopes of Limone Piemonte. I could have easily done that with her being an expert in snow angels but had to stay in sunny England.
You don't know what you're missing. My two now are pretty competent skiers (7 and 9). {quote} Don't be such a wuss! Go with her. She will really, really love you for it. If you're scared, you can stay on the nursery slopes and get overtaken by groups of 4 year olds.

{quote} I used to do moguls but my knees can't take it anymore. I try them now and then but have a difficult time. Don't like speed so much. More into carving terrain. My favorite condition is fresh powder. Kind of like water skiing. Ahhh to be young again. LOL
I use my freeride K2 skis for powder and moguls and I can just jump easily from bump to bump whereas my Head piste skis would sink, but they're good for going fast on well groomed pistes. I guess my favourite is a fairly steep, freshly groomed, wide piste (to avoid people). I don't mind ice.
{quote} It's not gonna happen, I am OK with being a wuss and going 90 - 100 KPH without an engine is obscene. Crashing when she was a teenager was quite fortuitous for her it lead her into sculpting which she adores. I help her with the heavy stones occasionally to show her how invaluable I am.
{quote} Do you trust fatboy or do you think he's up to something? Is he Doctor Evil?
{quote} You're not old and I'm not that young! Lol. I love a good black run (double diamonds to you) and getting some serious leg burn on the moguls. Skiing with my brother, we hammer them for 6-7 hours a day. Used to down a burger before dinner because we got soooo hungry.
