Ski Diva Extraordinaire
This will be my third 'formal' season skiing, not counting a few random trips in my youth days where you pretty much get on skis and hope for the best because you are young and don't care.
Last season I got to a point where I feel pretty comfortable on most blues and even a couple 'easy' blacks. Also upgraded my boots and skis at the end of the season, and it actually made a huge difference in my confidence and ability.
Now, looking forward to getting on the slopes soon, I am super nervous. Like, what if I completely forgot everything? Will muscle memory kick in? Will nerves kick in instead? Last season coming back wasn't too bad, or at least not like starting from the very beginning, but I remember also being super nervous and starting on bunny slopes (which my husband and kids made fun of me for behind my back and won't 'fess up to).
Am I the only one feeling this way, or do you, experienced divas, just put your gear on and charge ahead as if 8 months haven't gone by?
