Most people ski as a leisure pursuit and leave the Olympic ambitions to the daredevils. Snowboarding, particularly popular with the young, has joined Alpine Skiing. Racing down slopes on planks of wood does seem a crazy thing to do. Having done it myself, I know how exciting it is. When I was in Scotland I skied in the fog and over sheer ice. One day I hit a sheet of ice and couldn't prevent myself from crashing into a picket fence. There was this cabin at the top of the mountain where you could buy coffee, hot chocolate and snacks. You can also feed from your hand the local herd and reindeer when they came up near the cabin. Yes Alpine Skiing is wonderfull!
My other experience of skiing was in Austria. The snow conditions and the weather were almost perfect there. There is nothing to beat Alpine Skiing when the sun is shining and the snow glitters in the sunlight. I love Apres Ski too and I remember drinking a lot of mulled wine. I stayed in a picture postcard little village in a typical Alpine cottage. In the small village, there was this amazing church which was adorned with frescoes and gold. One day I had to put my Alpine Skiing on hold because the night before, me and my friends had rather too much schnapps at the local bar.
I promised myself to go skiing again and try to get better. They just open a very big dry slope near my place, which would be a good way to get back into it again. I may even try out snowboarding lessons; You don't have to be young to have all the fun. When I was in Austria, we had a trip to Innsbruck and we visited the old Winter Olympics site there. I went to the top and stood where was the ski jump slope, and the incline is stunning. You can't get any idea of what ski jumping is like from television. Sometimes, Alpine Skiing and its various events, must feel like flying. The only time that I ever flew was by pure accident!
