What a thought-provoking post.

Some of the thoughts are questions, clarifications: are you not skiing at all on your skiing holiday, or is it just today that the wind and the cloud outweight your degree of confidence?

And I can't tell from this whether you enjoy skiing (and indeed writing, though I think that's a separate set of questions!) - or whether you *would* enjoy skiing in those perfect conditions of weather and nobody else about...

But also, the counter-argument that too much confidence is also lethal: inh writing it results in nothing worse than bad books, but on the slopes, literally lethal. So that confidence, too, is something that has to be pitched just so, with the turns just so.

Fortunately, at work if not when skiing, it may be possible to fake it.
