Step by step out of my comfort zone

The snow’s great, my pants are full. That’s the situation in a nutshell. I haven't been skiing in over 15 years. But today, I won’t just be standing on skis but «flying» through the air with them strapped to my feet. At least that's the plan.

The challenge

Like I said, the last time I was on a ski slope was 15 years ago. I was in my mid-30s and a little more elastic than I am now. Besides, I've always been more into carving skis. Jumps have never really been my thing. Thinking about the jump is making me feel queasy. What’s your gut feeling?

My coach
