I've gone skiing for the first time this week. I have a muscle disease that makes me quite weak. I had got to the stage of being able to do an hour uphill on a treadmill so thought I might be okay.
I'm not. Day four and there are no boots that I can move in. They all hurt so much that my calves go rock hard, and I got stuck on a cable car for hours being unable to move today. It kills.
I haven't managed any tuition because I can't move my feet in the shoes, and the people I'm here with have disappeqred up the mountain, so I'm finding it quite sad!
Does anyone know if snowboarding is any easier?the shoes look a lot lighter, so I'm tempted to swap to that.
Is there anything else I can do? There's no real town here, and I really wanted to be good at this!
(plus it's freezing cold!)
