‘He showered me with compliments’

Not only the sun makes you hot, a dose of snow, mulled wine and a tanned ski instructor also ensure hot winter adventures.

Lisette (42), mother of Bent (14), Nicolas (10), Lize (8) and Fay (5):

“Soon after the divorce, I went skiing with my ex-in-laws. After all, we’ve been doing that for years, so much fun for our children. My ex didn’t go with me. He sought out the warm weather with his new flame; the woman he’d been dating behind my back for a few years.

Winter sports

My parents-in-law felt very guilty about their son’s cheating and paid for me and the children’s entire trip and accommodation. We were seven adults and eight children in a boarding house in the Wilder Kaiser area. In recent years I had occasionally taken a slope during such a family holiday, but I was mainly the one who stayed with the children. Now that our youngest started a class, I thought it was time to do something about my own skills.

Private lessons

I booked a few hours of private lessons with an Austrian. Really such a ‘in-the-summer-farmer-in-the-winter-Skilehrer’ type. Normally you wouldn’t turn your head for it, with ski goggles and brown head he is suddenly fiercely attractive. Especially because the man made a lot of work for me. He showered me with compliments.

Whether it was the frustration over my cheating ex or the mulled wine I drank every day, I flirted like crazy with der Franz. While my in-laws raced down the mountains around me, Franz and I kissed and kissed on the ski lift. After that week I would never see him again and that was fine.”
