In reply to Trangia:
> 3 lessons or 3 seasons?
Three separate blocks of lessons, spread over 3 occasions, over approximately 20 years. And snowboarding. I have tried, I really have. Oh, and Cross Country..........
> If the former the first few lessons can be hard and very demoralising as you keep falling over, then if you persevere suddenly it will click and you enter a whole new world of sheer fun.
I don't think so
> If the latter it sounds as though you have had crap instructors....
They can't have all been crap - I am just very inflexible after years of cycling and mountaineering (and poor stretching I suppose), and I just don't move that way it seems
> In reply to your request do try snow shoeing. It'll get you up out of the village and you can enjoy being in the hills. It's hard work though!
I have snow shows, I have done it many times. I love it.
