I'd be nervous about skiing, wondering what I'd do if I felt shaky on top of a mountain; but other diabetics do ski, so there's no reason I couldn't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I won't ski in the backcountry the day after a big storm anymore. The mountains are so humbling. As soon as you think you're on top or crushing it, that's when you need to be really careful.
Skiing makes me feel great, and it gives my legs such an incredible workout.
Skiing is the pleasurable part of alpinism - way more pleasurable and fun than alpine climbing.
Ski racing, especially downhill, is a dangerous activity and there are many accidents. It would be really too bad to lose everything because of a crash.
I'm not much of a water skier, my legs are too skinny for that, so I just try to tube and have fun, just ride.
I don't want to leave skiing early. I want to feel like I've done everything I can do.
You have to be aware. Like, I'm not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I'm not going to risk breaking a leg. I want to be dancing the way I'm dancing now for 30 more years.
I'm not really good at skiing or snowboarding, or swimming, per se.
I haven't skied or snowboarded or anything like that.
For me, skiing is a physical necessity. I have a need for risk.
