I miss skiing too. I lived in Chicago from 1980 to 1994 and we’d always go to Utah. I miss Alta and the Alta Peruvian.
I grew up in Albany and we’d always go north to Vermont or NH…even a night trip to West Mt in Glens Falls….NEVER south to anywhere that’s be full of goddam New Yorkers…Hunter comes to mind.
I did injure my head once and required 3-4 stitches but luckily that never had any lasting effect.
I used to LOVE skiing. I went and broker my ankle though (not skiing) so I can’t fit the boot now that I have plates and pins all through my ankle. My foot can’t bend back towards my leg enough to accommodate the “lean forward” of the boot. Besides that, even if it could I can’t have anything pressing against the screws it irritates the surrounding tissues too much.
cobblehiller, I couldn’t begin to try to explain what the doctor said, but it was basically that in a “normal” case, they would have had hours and hours to operate and save the person.
“biff do you ski?”
not so much, although I will brewski tonight. But I basically learned to ice skate at the same time I learned to walk and I found learning to ski fairly easy after skating for years as the motions are very similar. It was kind of like skating on a hill.
Speaking of helmets, I have been taking my kids ice skating over the past couple of years and I insist they wear their helmets when skating. I am amazed by how few kids wear them on the ice.
related to skiing, i went on a ski trip for my birthday a few years ago with my ex and his friend. i never skiid before. there was a green supposedly easy path to go on for beginners. anwyay, take the air trolley up the mountain and i realized just then how afraid of heights i actually am, especially in nature. i think id die if i went to the grand canyon. i literally almost started crying. it was the first time i put skiis ON and i couldnt walk in them even. they tried to give me a mini lesson than wanted to push me down the slope. and it looked like a HUGE f’ing mountain to me! i was like no no no. then this little 14 year old brat goes oh it’s easy! whatever! anyway i dont regret my decision now to go down that huge mountain. even my bf and his friend who skiid before said it wound up being hard and they fell a few times and it took them forever to get down the whole thing!!!
seriously, big long sticks do not belong on human beings feet, especially on top of slippery snow covered mountains!
just go sledding or something. it’s the same thing.
