alt: because you touch yourself at night, obviously
and I'd always rather be skiing. But it don't pay the bills or stretch my mind, so it's not a goer.

I've never tried skiing, is it as fun as it looks?
Bear in mind I fell out the clumsy, uncoordinated tree, hitting every branch on the way down, and landing in the clumsy wood.

a bit of co-ordination helps
but almost anyone can get to the point where they are comfortable on any piste (bar some blacks) within a few weeks. My mother-in-law learned to ski at 55. And, yeah, it's at least as much fun as it looks.

haha, that really does read as proper racist, doesn't it?
Ah, my bigotry skills are strong, old man.

Yes it does. Which is why I clicked 'I like this'

Our youngest granddaughter is a proper mental ski nut.
She does all the hardest runs. It probably helps that she's completely fearless.

I wish I'd learnt as a kid
when you see 7 and 8 year olds hammering down anything. No fear, and balance is much easier for them. A few years ago I was overtaken on the Hahnenkamm by a crocodile of toddlers at full pelt in a lesson. On the Hahnenkamm. For the love of fuck.

Ski boarding looks awesome,
but I know I'd break my neck in about 3 seconds.

Mostly snowboarders just hurt their arses.



what with them all being bent.

I know a few people into it (snowboarding),
and they're all irritating, smug, bank of mum and dad twats. Not that I'm generalising you understand.

My brother is a boarder
I VERY occasionally envy him off-piste (especially if there is a crust on), or in a snowpark, or if you're climbing something... but then I snap out of it.
