Advantages: Fantastic feeling when it starts to go well

Disadvantages: none.

I learnt to ski in bulgaria, but due to the icy conditions and tales of medieval medical treatments I was petrified of falling over.
Later the same year I took an incredibly cheep Holiday in Banff , Canada( cheeper than bulgaria! ) had a fantastic time but was still scared of falling even though the snow was fantastic. I had developed the best snow plough turn in the world and ploughed the green and blue runs all the time.
Something clicked on the 3rd holiday and by the 4rth I was a different skier all together, only using the plough on the steepest of black runs.

My confidence has increased so much and I am getting so much more from the sport. We try to go for a fortnight each winter, and make it the main holiday of the year .
The views are fantastic, the fresh air is wonderful and for me it is so much better than laying on a beech all day. We have always met great people, and spend all year looking forward to the next trip.
