I did have a little chat with her and outlined my feelings so she should not be too surprised, what really pissed me off was not the walk down but some bloke stopping to see if " I" was alright.

Ooops

Just think of your blood pressure, and maybe have a little lie down and refocus

Well so far so good No email or phone call.......

A nice top up on the levels, been a bit windy and due to stay rather chilly for the whole week. Unfortunately I'm not there

Tony H regarding your 'pole turns', they called them 'short swings' when I was learning to ski in the 1970s (See the Sunday Times' classic book - We Learned To Ski)!

A blast from the past, I've not heard that term used for a long time

Here's some more classics for you Ian (straight out of We Learned To Ski - 1974!):

Uphill christies; stem christies; parallel christies;

The jet turn (very stylish); the wedel trun (same as short swings) and the avalement technique for mastering the moguls

All very dated but still a magnificent book!

It's been quite agreeable.
