May be or may be not. I'm a 52 y/o Brit - we don't have mountains per se. I started skiing in about 1976.
I've seen a few mountains and gear changes.
I've skied in CA - Calgary is nearly the same Northerly latitude as Yeovil (Somerset/UK). It got quite nippy the last time I was there - about -17C. Banff and the rest (Sunshine Valley etc) were great fun.
I've skied a few other places too.
A few years back I recall getting a call whilst I was bimbling down the top end of Verbiers. Bit surreal - big hill and rather steep. Keep your edges keen kids!
