That set me back to thinking about when I first put on skis. It was in
Harlow. Sadly, not the sort of place one can get all misty-eyed about.


Iran, winter of 1969/70.

Ahh, memories come flooding back of Skew Bridge dry ski slope in the
Northamptonshire mountains. Couldn't believe how slippy the real stuff was
when we went to Italy (Macugnaga?) the following winter.

Oh yes was 39 when I started - so regret not doing it earlier

Monarch, Colorado for me. Two years ago in April.

I was 33 when I started, so you've still got some time to go.


I was about 38 when I started. It was in Arolla about 13 year ago.

No it's not. It was just a dry slope when I took a course there.
