Stella,
Good for you for getting on the slopes! I'd forgotten about the ski-lifts and how nerve-racking they can be the first time. The worst ones for me are the ones where you have to stick your skis in the outside and then hop in the gondala. More than once I got my skis in but didn't hop in on time so my skis went and I stayed! Luckily someone looked after them for me until I reached the top.I haven't skiied in 6 years but before I went 'real' skiing I did a lot of dry-slope skiing with the button lifts, which aren't as scary although can be very embarrassing if you muck up and go careering backwards down a slope! One day I will persuade my bf to come skiing with me. I think there are some indoor ski centres in the Netherlands so I should go with him one time.
I'm glad you had the confidence to do this and that it paid off, despite the cold and anxieties. No, I didn't feel minimised. I didn't really know how to explain what was happening and have been busy the last days trying to understand what exactly it is that goes on.
Anyway, happy skiing!
Witti
