‘I’m in trouble’ – Andy Murray had to be rescued from a mountain in skiing emergency

Andy Murray’s incredible athletic talent seems to be confined to the tennis court if his recent skiing holiday is anything to go by.

During a recent episode of the Sporting Misadventures podcast, the British legend openly shared that he found himself in quite a predicament when he had to be rescued by a snowmobile while skiing on holiday.

The double Olympic gold medal winner confessed that he struggled to disembark from the ski lift and feared he would tumble off a cliff, completely at a loss for how to stop.

Murray said: “The first two days were shocking. I couldn’t get off the ski lifts.

“My wife refused to go on the ski lifts with me because it’s just embarrassing, isn’t it? I just couldn’t get off, so I had to go on with strangers who were having to lift me up.

“The first day I got stuck up the mountain.

“At the end of the day, we were on a beginner’s slope. The ski lift to take you back up to the top was closing and there was another one further down the hill, and my brother-in-law was like, ‘Let’s go a little bit further and we’ll just go up the other ski lift.’

“So we went down the mountain a little bit. And I can’t ski – I don’t know how to stop at this stage.

“We’d been literally on a beginner green slope, and once you got past that bit, it went on to blues and reds.

‘We went probably 400, 500m down the slope, got to where the ski lift was, and the ski lift had shut. The guy who was operating it said the only way to get down now was to get down the mountain
