Vlog: Ski-ing Again After 10 Years!
On Sunday after not ski-ing for ten years we ventured back to the dry ski slope where we learnt to ski as teenagers (and also where Alex proposed to me eleven years ago!).
We’ve long harboured a desire to go on a ski holiday and this was the first step towards that.
We’re fortunate that we live ten minutes away from an excellent slope that costs around ?9 an hour including ski hire (much better than the eighty quid a lesson someone tweeted about).
The morning was eventful in that I managed to fall off the chairlift twice, although Alex has admitted to pushing me once. *Twice* I found myself flailing around on my back like a beatle as chairs skimmed my head and skiers avoided me in slalom fashion.
I *cough* also managed to ski into the back of a snowboarder who had fallen into my path, I snow ploughed for dear life but I hurtled into the back of him impaling him on my skis (oops) I apologised but neither him nor his instructor acknowledged my presence (rude). I spent the rest of time huffing about ‘newbies’ being on the main slope and how I have a new found dislike for the fancy modern snowboarder types pffft.
Anyhoo, here’s a wee video of me demonstrating my, erm, skills…
I love it! Well done you…that wasn’t bad at all. I can see you schusching through the French Alps any day now!
Just Vlog It m’lady…excellent effort!

Yes, as long as there are no snowboarders!
Fantastic. When my sister lived in Edinburgh we could see the dry ski slope from her kitchen window.
You looked very professional by the way, wish Alex had captured the snowboarder impalement.
Batman would ski.
Robin would snowboard.
Nuff said.
….looking good! I last went skiing in Feb 1983 (School Trip) – I was 13. Hankered after it ever since! You look far more professional in your video shoot than I ever did! I did look better ice skating though…..
We’ve been ski-ing and ice skating recently, we’ll need to give it a go when you come up.
I’ve never been skiing, but I’d love to try!
Thanks for sharing the video.
