Bulgaria Ski discussion board

We all have stories of getting Wiped out or even been the cause (no fault of our own).

Just starting this tread to get some of your stories.

My worst was 3 years ago in pamps my Ski School group and Instructor were at the end of the Red that leads to the wall - we stopped at the bottom over to the right, well out of the way of traffic. All of a sudden I was hit It felt like a freight train I flew through the air. When I got up I seen a lady on the ground and went to help her up, But she start screaming at me in russian - This lady was the far side of 60 and all of the group noticed that she had wooden skis on and no poles just 2 shopping bags. It seems that she bashed her noise (on my head) at it was bleeding. Our Instructor seen that she lost control on the slope and we where not to blame. We gave her a tissue and it was ok ,but she was still going mad at our instructor. After ten mins or so she picked up her bags and started down.

After that we asked our instructor was everything ok and he replied Crazy Lady.

Im sure we all have stories about been wiped out...

Cheers,
Rob

Never been wiped out, hard to do if you sit at a bar by the side of a slope sipping hot toddies

Nearly wiped out a whole slope of skiers in Italy though. My first time skiing, taken straight up on a very long pom. When I finally reached the top, I was told to go straight back down to my son who was screaming in the nursey. So I literally did - straight down the mountain, yelling for everyone to move as I couldn't stop - best run I've ever done, didn't fall over and whizzed down at 100 mph. Crashed into a net barrier at the bottom

That's the way to learn to ski
