At 47, I finally wanted to learn to ski, so I booked a beginner's ski course. I ended up in a small group with four other participants and ski instructor Olivia. And that was the best thing that could have happened to me in a ski course 🤩 Olivia is such an incredibly competent ski instructor, super friendly, very thorough, and incredibly patient 🥰 As a complete beginner, I stood on skis for the very first time, and after just three days of training with Olivia, I felt like a hero on the 2,200-meter-high slope 🤩 Olivia speaks perfect German and English and explained all the important technical details in both languages that every beginner absolutely needs to know to feel comfortable and safe while skiing, because that's when the real fun begins 😃 I wouldn't have thought it possible to learn so well in just three or four days that I could easily keep up with the advanced skiers on the big slopes 🥹 Thank you, dear Olivia 🥰 I'm absolutely thrilled!
