I have been skiing for 50+ years.
I think I am very good, and have been told that I ski like
Stein Eriksen. I have always taken that as a compliment.
That is, until the other day, when a relative told me that I need
to go back to ski school, because I am “too old school”.
This person is a ski instructor/ski patroller and said that
he would fail me on my form… ”not in control” as evidenced
by my boots very close.
This got some heated conversation.. but I yielded the point, that
i may be sub-optimizing my parabolic ski edge, but I wouldn’t
call myself out of control….
i would be interested in getting peoples feedback.
Does this 60 year old need to go back to ski school?
I want to join the ski patrol, and help out in my retirement
years.
bothered & having second thoughts.
