Here and there hundreds of amateurs were skiing at the same time – those who wanted to follow me on the long climb to Lazutinka held on. Some even exceeded. Good game! Although I still would not recommend pushing your pulse into the fifth zone in this way without daily training and without the supervision of a doctor.
My older colleagues and friends found themselves in the role of managers of private ski clubs. They are the owners, trainers and managers. They attract people, teach children and adults to ski, write training plans and participate in training camps in different places in Russia.
It’s best to ask them yourself how the business is doing. But the fact that they are opening one branch after another is known to everyone in the ski world.
