First ski training

The first step is taken. Last week I accomplished the first necessary ski instructor training in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands? Yes in the Netherlands…...the ski training was at an indoor ski piste.

Quite a strange feeling to be in the snow all day without having the real mountain experience around you. Although the indoor ski pistes have real snow, it still is not the same feeling. It feels a bit like locking yourself up in a giant freezer for a week, having strip light instead of sunshine. Nevertheless it was a fun week and sufficient enough for a good training.

The moment I'm writing this it is go-live date on my current project. Another three days to go and my leave of absence will start. Right now it's hard to imaging that my working life will end in three days. Wonder how it will feel, without issues, politics, deadlines, demanding clients, traffic jams and filthy coffee.

I will make my wildest dream come true. Coming winter I will move to Austria and spend my days in the snow and mountains. The plan is to become a ski instructor and during this period I will try extend my mountain skills by doing ski instructor courses, avalanche trainings, and a tour ski instructor training.
