I have been skiing once in my life, at Garmisch while stationed at Wildflecken, Germany. The guy from my unit who took me was a very experienced skier and was very patient with me trying to control myself on the beginner slope.
He broke his leg after the first hour, running into a tree while avoiding me when I lost control. He went to the hospital and I finished out the day on the intermediate slope (with little more control than I had when I started).
The most exciting thing to happen to me that day was trying to catch the ^&#^@^% T-bar to go up the slope. It was supposed to be across the small of my back/upper buttocks ... well, it dropped down to my knees and the (*#&$& thing dragged me halfway up the hill before I got loose ... it filled the entire back of my coat with snow as well.
I think I've seen you at every resort I've ever skied......You sure do get around. LOL!
