Just shows when nervousness can do.
I think this is also part of it for me. I do get sort of jittery before my first run.
Last time I went skiing, we went to Mt Hood Ski Bowl, which I have never been to before and I was not prepared for how scary those chairs are! (For anyone who hasn't been, they're little non-detachable two-seaters with no real arm rests, no bar, and they tend to bounce and swing a LOT) I started getting the calf pain while riding the lift because I was just so tense.
