IMHO anyone wearing shorts in the snow would be cold not cool .....
:roll:

Had a morning skiing in shorts once just to prove that we could

VERY gentle slopes and no falls

Oh and no drag lifts (to keep on topic)

The kids always remember a guy skiing in just his grunds in Andorra. I have a photo somewhere! is there a facilty to upload it?

I don't mind a button lift but my daughter hates them. A bad experience has made her so nervous that she tenses up and as a result falls off.

There is a T bar at the top of the glacier at Deux Alpes, I had a lovely bruise behind my knee and inside my thigh when my husband didn't twist it far enough out of the way when getting off - thanks for that! But the funniest sight I ever saw was two snowboarders riding it up facing each other astride the bar, which frankly looks like two people enjoying a double ended sex toy!!! Needless to say one "arrived" first and then the other fell off.....

Ooh now. When was this then? We were there January 2008 and I have the photo somewhere lol

And it was in Arinsal

tbh, im a good snowboarder, ive been boarding for years and this is the first year i learnt to use one and now can use them! i would avoid them at all costs, i had a nightmare on one years ago, and vowed never go near one again. my mate hasnt boarded in 6 years, the first thing he does is go straight on a button lift, before even going down a small hill to get the feeling and getting used to it again! so i thought id give it another go and hey presto, i can now use em!
