On our ski break to Austria for a week! It’s been two years since I last did downhill skiing, The previous time was in March 2023 when I fell and twisted my knee which took months to recover, Then I swore I’d never go back on the slopes again. In fact I was not even looking forward to this ski break! My partner though insisted that I give it another shot, suggesting that I book lessons to get me back on my feet and regain confidence. So I gave in and took a chance.

And now I’m glad I listened to him! As soon as we arrived, we booked a few lessons starting the next day. I was still unenthusiastic. Well as it turned out, those lessons worked wonders! Caroline, also from the Netherlands, was my ski instructor, professional, patient and pleasant . Apart from reminding me of the correct and safe techniques, she was very encouraging and kind. After that lesson, I booked a other one and looking forward to skiiimg again! So wonderful to get my ski mojo back…
