Hi classmates,
I would like to tell you an unusual
work experience which I had the good fortune of enjoying 20 years ago in
one of my first jobs.
At that time I worked in a sport shop, where I was a specialized salesman in ski and mountain equipment. I was also in charge of repairing and assembling the skis. At a later time I had the responsability of purchasing the ski and mountain material, among other things.

One good thing about the job was that the supliers invited us to experience their products.
Well, actually on two occasions was wonderful!, breaking the bank.
The first time, they invited us to fly
in a helicopter until Alba peak, near Aneto peak, in the Pyrinees, in
order to fall skiing with a guide mountain.
The second time, they invited us to
travel to the French Alps, in Chamoix to visit a ski factory and after that to try the skis.
The next day was "the great day", we went to do the descent into skis along the White Valley (La Vallé Blanche) one of the most important off-piste descents n the world. At the beginning we got in cable car until L´Aiguille du Midi 3,800 mts. with minus 29 degrees. It was amazing! There were beautiful descents and slopes, sometimes gentle but always very long descents. We began at 10 a.m. and it lasts until 4 p.m. At certain places our guide stopped and told us: "Here it is forbidden to fall down..."
What a wonderful time it was! I had the time of my life with that job!Have you ever had a similar situation in your job?
Let me share a link where you can see the descent.
See you
Javier
