I had a go once in the Cairngorms, but decided it wasn't my sport wink
Husband used to ski often when we first came to France - we're near the Pyrenees. Then he fell and broke his leg - that was the end of that.

I skied a few times in my teens but not since, I did enjoy it but now I wouldn't risk it.

Sadly not me - not much call for skis in my part of the country grin

Would be nice to know and perhaps meet up on the slopes one day.

I grew up on skis- and took up snowboarding too, aged 49 and xcountry skiing (the Jura is really the best place for it, right on our doorstep). No skiing last year- after first diffiicult knee replacement. That felt really strange - but hope to do some fair weather skiing of both types this winter- before second knee replacement early March.
