Myself, learning to ski, at the Ski centre in Sandyford.
Real boots on real skis on an artificial ski slope, basically a carpeted conveyor belt, or a rolling mountain.
"The Ski Deck has 50 square meters of dynamic skiing surface allowing 3 skiers to ski endlessly on a rolling carpet surface, (like a treadmill in reverse), in front of a full size mirror. The Deck is controlled by a qualified Instructor who adjusts the speed and tilt of the Slope with a remote control.
Using real skis, ski boots, ski bindings, ski poles and snowboards, a one hour lesson on the Endless Ski Slope is equal to a full day of ski training on the mountain. "

Don't I look calm and collected?
Once my instructor (Declan) told me to pretend I was holding a tray with 20 pints of Guinness on it and I wasn't to spill a drop, it all started to come together.
Can't wait to get back on the slopes again this season, with me 20 pints o'Guinness!!
that sounds great, me and my fat arse will be there
