Last ski of the season!!! Planned to do Alpine, but I didn't trust myself, so put that off for another six months. Crazy snow today. It's all melting fast, but at 10:45 everything was skiable. Not just the pisted trails. People were skating literally everywhere. And fast. The fastest I've ever seen people travel in the flesh on skate skis. And these people weren't particularly good. They just flew. Typically I fell over on a bare patch, but it was worth every penny. Cracker of a day.
NB. Got a strange, rather embarrassing email from an old PE teacher today asking for a sporting bio of my orienteering feats.......(Crickets)......My old high school is putting a book together of Old Boys' (Alumni in American) sporting prowess. In my year alone we had Pro Cricketers, Rugby Players, Footballers, a European Sailing Champion (Topper), a lad who won the equestrian at Modern Pentathlon and came 7th in the National Épeé Championships. In other years we had a Jockey that won the Grand National, several Olympians and the school is close to 70 years old.
The fact I hadn't done it since 1990 made for short reading. But I was flattered none the less.
