A few days ago, Nicole Denis, a veteran ski instructor from Avoriaz, France, sent me that great video of one of her students, an Austrian-born baroness Barbara von Schmidburg who has come to the Avoriaz ski resort since its creation in the late 60s and has skied ever since under the guidance of Nicole.
The clip captured on the Swiss side of the Portes du Soleil, this large international interconnect straddling France and Switzerland, 20 miles north of Chamonix.
The place has been enjoying great snow conditions that at the very least require skiers to “turn’em”, but what’s very special is the age of that noble lady: eighty seven year young! I can only hope that I’ll manage to ski nearly as well ten years from now if and when I reach that age as a skier!
