re: #109 klys (maker of Silmarils)

I started when I was 3. It’s not a lack of time spent doing it. I was actually running a race course when I wiped out. A ski hit my back in the process, and of course when you mention back pain after a serious wipe out everyone freaks.

I have a pretty serious fear of heights which has grown and plays into it a lot; I have similar issues with hiking on exposed slopes. If I’d do anything these days it would be the bunny hill.

I could be perfectly happy on the bunny hill, but I doubt you would be. :)

There are now indoor ski slopes in parts of Asia, including China and Japan. Picture a huge refrigerated building with man-made snow and one slope.

Outside Beijing, some developers have built a ski “resort,” which a friend of mine visited and took photos. You’d like it. I think all it has is a bunny slope.
