[quote=Anonymous]I am an older skier and after breaking my ankle after a gentle fall, I am more cautious than ever! I had always been terrified of picking up speed and never felt confident with turns, worrying that faster skiers behind me would crash into me since I take very wide turns. So, I decided to just stick to greens and blues (with the occasional tougher blue when the slopes aren't crowded) and enjoy just going at my pace vs. skiing in fear. This does mean that I can't always ski with my family but I am ok with that. Instructors are very hit or miss but I did find that, before my fall, I was advancing pretty quickly when the slopes were not crowded and I can take my time and take some risks without someone crashing into me, especially obnoxious snowboarders who have no problem stopping and sitting down in the middle of a run.[/quote]
