Altitude sickness?
Any other skiers on here get altitude sickness sometimes? I’ve had it at a couple of resorts in Austria and Switzerland where the common factor seems to be getting quickly whisked by cable car from a base station at say 1200m up to around 2500-3000m. I’ve felt sick, dizzy, disorientated and it can be debilitating and most importantly spoils my fun. It does tend to get better through the week. I know it’s much more common amongst mountain climbers who go a lot higher but it’s a common theme with me in that kind of resort. I’m fine somewhere like Tignes or La Plagne when staying higher up. Anyway, I’m going to try some medication next time acetazolamide, known by the brand name Diamox. I’ll let you know how it goes and if it’s any better.

It was quite funny actually, to order the stuff online, I had to answer a few questions including: which of the following are you visiting: Everest, Anapurna, K2 (and several others I don’t recall) or ‘other’ and I felt a bit of a lightweight putting ‘Stubai, Austria 3300m’.

@Gary Shepherd yes thanks I have heard that ibuprofen and paracetamol can help as well. I’ll remember to pack those.

Likewise sorry I couldn’t make it today. Hope you all had a good natter and talked yourselves into a good ski season for 25/26.

I keep telling myself that if it’s raining here at 104m elevation, surely it’s falling as snow at 3000m.

I had a lovely day on Wednesday at The Snow Centre with Stuart and Glenn, trying out lots of skis (I still like my own better), the Carv product, meeting a Physio and Strength trainer and lots of equipment suppliers. Better than working and has me looking forward to the mountains.

Late starter as a skier although I’ve done 14 weeks on the snow since 2018. Lucky to have met Floss for the first time a couple of years ago.
