Well done for retrieving the ski, I remember how grateful I was having lost a ski on a steep piste that I didn’t have to climb up to retrieve it.

Yes, it's happened to all of us, so we have to help out when we can :-)

That is the essence of alpinism. As long as we have each other, we are not alone. The mountain is a hostile but beautiful environment, that is to be encountered as a collective. Good sportsmanship!

I was skiing in saas Fee for the weekend, and it gives me a feeling of accomplishment to help those who crashed, or to motivate those who are afraid.

06:08 - OMG, I really thought I'd seen every style a beginner could use but Hunchback of Notre Dame is a new one for me! Having been badly taken out on a 6-man chair in Bansko, it's the last time I'll ever head to an Eastern European resort where they just whack on a pair of skis and head up the mountain with absolutely no thought of learning anything first.

The problem is, most of the time in this resort the beginner lift doesnt work, so you have no other option but to go all the way up. And the biggest problem for the beginner is the moguls around minute 3, there is no other way down except through.
