I went skiing last year in Whistler and i had a weeks worth of lessons. The conditions were amazing except for on a couple of really icy blues.
Me and my partner dropped behind the group a bit and ended up taking to wrong turn off which placed us at the top of an icy blue/black and the rest of the group had gone another way round to get to the bottom.
To cut a long story short - i freaked out, got stuck, had to side step the whole way down and cried my eyes out.
Its not the steepness, but the lack of control that scares me.
We've just booked another fortnight in Whistler and i'm really scared about finding myself in the same situation. We even paid for private lessons to try and have more control over where we ski.
However, on the off change i come against an icy slope, what would be the best way to tackle it without crying all the way down?
