swissletI’m having a lovely week in the mountains but, as I feared, skiing has become a real challenge. I’m a decent skier, but my legs are now too weak to really handle turns with any confidence on even the simplest of slopes with the most forgiving snow. Knowing this just undermines my confidence further. I’ve only fallen twice, both times heavily but not catastrophically. My wife is very patient, but it’s depressing and I hate feeling so vulnerable.
Fatigue also sets in quickly and unpredictably. I don’t want to be stuck on a slope I can’t ski down.
The weather and the Gluhwein have been excellent and I’ve got schnitzel and strudel booked in for tomorrow evening. It could very much be worse.
