That shows you've let him go his own way.

I've wrecked my knees, and have strange lumps on my head which corellate to various trees around Europe, but wouldn't change it for the world. <br /><br />As a non-skier, have you discovered the delights of coffee/hot chocolate with grappa, while sunbathing at the bottom of the piste? If not, you really should give it a go. Makes the day go eversoquick while you wait for the mad ones in the family to return ...Katjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194345669238572145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-52522989036556254252010-02-17T13:33:06.482+01:002010-02-17T13:33:06.482+01:00Great article, but such a shame you had such a hor...Great article, but such a shame you had such a horrid experience, that put you off ski-ing for life.<br /><br />If only you had been given a proper lesson I bet you would now be enjoying the sport with your young family.

Now I'm sort of glad that they didn't take to downhill as I'm sure that once they experienced the thrill of flying down the hill at mock 8, cross country skiing would just seem like too much work.Christine Gramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783180729146518061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-16583503785699114102010-02-16T12:57:35.576+01:002010-02-16T12:57:35.576+01:00Cold I can do (have to).
