Ski James Ski



If you can’t beat it join it. Faced with the thought of having snow well into April and the chances to run before that date limited I have decided to take another route. I have purchased a set of skis. A cross-country set I should add. While I would love to fly down the ski jump that you may have seen on my photos from a couple of days back my new skis are just not suitable for that kind of activity. If you believe that you will believe anything. Contrary to the evidence I do have a brain cell or two more than is require to begin that sport.

Instead I will be hitting the cross-country trails. If I will be any good is a totally different matter. I can see myself sliding backwards down any slight inclines that I incur on route or worse still not being able to move at all be it on a hill or otherwise. May I apologise in advance to any Swedes who may come across my interpretation of skiing. I don’t mean to be a nuisance; honestly I am trying to get out of your way. Is it my fault I was born clumsy? Just because I blocked the ski track by falling over when I was trying to get out of your way doesn’t mean you have to shout at me.
