Skiing and bad weather

To a passionate skier and most of the time, weather has little effect on skiing quality.

It will take an awful blizzard and hurricane-force winds, or a tropical downpour and a nuclear meltdown to make any ski day a bad one.

Most of the time, skiing is always good, sun or not, cold or a bit warmer and most often than not, there’s always a good surprise in store for the adventurous or optimistic skier.

Poor visibility? Ski in the trees.

There seems to be a response to any situation. Snowy days with the sun filtering through the cloud covers are for instance the very best experience anyone can ever have; a surreal visibility with perfect snow quality.

What is true, at least based on my extensive experience, is that, in the majority of instances, every outing was much better than initially expected.

Finally, what’s certain is that when the weather is already bad, it can only get better, so what do we have to lose?
