Coming from a non-skiing family it was wonderful and truly special to have the chance to spend time on snow in Chatel. Writing from Chatel now!
I remember friendly times, good hosts, gentle, useful, fun coaching,Having a laugh. The first year of Salomon skis, repeated watching of Blizzard of Aahhs,
Being a kid abroad away from family it was an adventure I still remember well. I went on to ski many seasons in the Italian alps and the Southern alps in NZ (where I met my wife and we started our family). I’m still based in NZ, Skiing brought me there and I’m happy to share that Ian and Jane – and a shout out to Derek Tate – were a part of my journey. Tamsen and Kirsty were just wee groms at the time but even then we’re infected with the snow bug. 😉
Sending warmth and hugs to you all.
