Frustrating ain’t it… I went skiing for the first this year, at 57 probably a bit late in life. I had a week of lessons lasting about 4 hours in the morning. Thinking I would be able to continue in the afternoons by myself. But I found it nearly impossible as I was mentally and physically drained from the lessons..
Hope to go back next year and continue with the learning process. I think you’ve done very well for one day, I struggled to get parallel turns after a whole week…
Yes everyone does seem faster from the very young to the very old. As Jan bo says how fast were you first time on a bike.. I’m sure it will come. At the end of the week I was going straight and level (on slight downhills) at about 30mph (by my GPS) but didn’t feel completely in control. Still very nervous about the skis all jigger-ling about. Much the same when you first start going fast downhill on a bike..
