Those buggers are like being slingshotted onto a mountain ... uphill! They take some getting used to at first also. Nothing quite so embarassing as falling over in front of a long lineup of your fellow skiers ... many of them your arsehole friends! You learn fast.

I skied only one winter, the year I worked at the lodge. It was so much fun, two RCMP officers showed me the basics while I was working one day. Mike O 'Neil kitted me out suggesting shorter skis for beginners. Growing up in Wabush had its drawbacks.

Mike was way ahead of his time for that thought! All the kit is now shorter, by a long shot! I didn't know it was the coppers that showed you!

Had a laugh at this one Snowden! SUCH a good description...and that was just the blue lift!! Red lift = double the fun :)
Soooo many good memories of Smokey.
Enjoying your stories! keep 'em going!

thanks Heather! You're right, the red lift was twice as bad and fast as the blue and took you up some spooky inclines as well! I think a good day spring skiing on the 'Face' is as good as anywhere I've skiied...just shorter. No less challenging though.
