Blast from the past!

ski.jpgJust heard from an old friend called Adam. We met some 15 years ago at Chatham Ski Centre. A group of blind skiiers were looking for guides so I volunteered (and ended up managing the log book of available guides for when someone wanted to go skiing). We've booked a ski session for a few weeks time. Adam is totally blind so my job as a guide is to shout "left" and "Right" at the appropriate time so he stays on the slope and doesn't bump into anyone.

I presume, this ski event has happened, by now!? So, if it has, is Adam still alive or did he bump into, the side too many times and die?

He survived, although I did call a right instead of a left at one point so he did a little grass skiing!

They've fitted a new matting system at the ski slope now so I'll have to go and test it before I take him next time
