Funniest & scariest moment or fall skiing and where!

Hi,

Just to brighten your first day back at work, what was your funniest and scariest moment??

I would start but unfortunately have none worth mentioning.

This goes for learners and experts too.

funniest - fell over at top of drag lift while trying to open a cream egg!!...how do you eat ures???

Scariest - hitting an area of ice on last day (with knackered ankles)...thought I was going to fly over the edge of a turn...had to force a fall into a nice dump of snow instead!

All in all, a great holiday back in january - and cant wait for next years in February Very Happy
Will be tuning in to this sight from november onwards to catch up on all the weather reports!!

Scariest: Being taken out by an out of control boarder. Was down and winded for a while as I was stationary when hit, my chest landed on my poles which where stuck in the ground. Luckily the only thing broken was one of my poles and not my ribs...

Funniest: Knowing your falling from a drag lift, and that split second decision to try and hang on for dear life thinking you can regain control, only to be dragged by your face for a few meters before dropping off. lol. C'mon, everyones ...

re: Funniest & scariest moment or fall skiing and where!

first skiing holiday in Bansko this year I lost control and went skidding into the 30ft purple Milka cow! Caught my chin and nose on the guy rope and was catapulted on to my backside. Had the last laugh though, the next day a gust of wind ripped it from its ropes and it flew through the air and became wrapped around the button lift!
