Have fun fella. Still recovering from mine, although mostly from the drinking rather than the skiing.

One of the guests who arrived on Sunday afternoon is a bloke in his 80s. He was absolutely rat-arsed by early evening and had to be carried to bed.

Hope I'm still able to do anything at that age, let alone ski or get shit faced still.Whistler is 4 weeks away........I will be wearing a helmet for the first time in skiing life. It's shit getting old.
I can't understand why anyone would even consider skiing without a helmet.
I'm starting to think the moral of this story is that snowboarders* are fkn dangerous.

To Risso's point most people do here now as well, it's only the idiots like me who have been skiing for years that don't.I first went with school in 1988, I can assure nobody wore a helmet. This will be the first major ski trip I've been on since 2002, all my other skiing has been local hills here in PA.
