23rd January 2004
Skiing: Melchsee-Frutt Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
First full day on the slopes was on the lift for 9am. The weather was nice
an clear so decided to head for the other side of the mountain. Once over
other side I had my first contact with T bar lifts never having used them
before managed to clout myself round the head on once, but didn't fall off
so can't be that bad. Riding up one of the lifts I could see where there
had been an avalache glad I wasn't here at the time it went right across
the lift path!
The slopes on this side are a lot wider and could get some nice wide
carving turns in. With things coming back to me I decided to just come off
the edge of the piste and try a couple of turns in the powder never having
skiied in deep powder this was gonna be something different managed one
turn then went for a second and didn't lean back enough over the front and
off come one of me skis, instant snow man! Had to spend about 5 mins
searching the snow with my pole to find the ski which had come off in the
off piste sortie
I decided to stay on the piste for the rest of the day leaving the off
piste for the people who know what they are doing
Just the one fall today
