Not living in a country before that had snow much, nor mountains, coming from England, not much chance.

It also makes me want to take up snow-boarding, but a friend in his 40's who recently did that (on account of being such a good skier that he got bored) ended up tearing both rotator cuffs and having surgery on both shoulders when he fell forward - which is the only way you can stop on a snowboard.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-38006891528127586402008-02-27T16:23:00.000-08:002008-02-27T16:23:00.000-08:00I never learned to ski properly.
