… and yep, that picture is me, thinking I am extra smooth suave sophisticated and handsome on Dynastar Omesoft 195s with Salomon 737 bindings and Salomon SX70 boots, sometime in December 1982 ...
But now, I am somewhat overweight and somewhat older, and was persuaded by @kimberlin to go skiing at Snowbowl AZ one day last year, and I had a BLAST! I had forgotten how much fun whizzing down the groomers could be (I suspect that there will be few Medicare Moguls for me in my knees' future). So much so that we went again and she persuaded me in the summer to put an order in for some RENOUN Atlas' which, they say, will be on the way within the next week or so. Well, given that, I'm just gonna have to ski a load more.
Oh, and I'm also a long distance cyclist - I rode the length of the River Rhine from Oberalppass (some nice looking skiing up there I suspect) in Switzerland to the estuary at Hook of Holland in May 2019, taking 18 days incl one rest day. I also rode the length of Britain from John O'Groats to Lands' End in June 2017, 1,015 miles and 54,301ft of climbing. You'd imagine that it would help the legs for skiing, but nah, they still burn at the end of a long run!
