Excellent pics, and you are all clearly outstanding skiers.

Nice photos , though JT is definitely skiing like a man with a very painful calf muscle He's looking just a little conservative!

Where are the piccies of the run down to the dam, and the 50' pitch on the other side?

Pabs, as one of the photos contains a Verbier resident, I reckon they went round there instead

I was totally convinced Kitten Ski was a female, although possibly not a young female cat, because I don't think they can type, let alone ski.

Maybe he/she should change their name?

Ally G, ayyyeeeeeeeee.

kitenski shouldn't change his name because folks (including me) don't read the thing properly or take it the wrong way

Well, suppose I'd said 'her' or 'she' or something, it would have been very embarassing all round.

Last ski holiday, only a few weeks ago (seems like a hundred years ago now), I skied with a girl in my class all week, and only discovered at the end that 'she' was a 'he' and even then it was only because the instructor asked her/his brothers whether she was a she or a he.

He wouldn't have to change his name by much, just put in the apostrophe, i.e. make it 'kite'nski' or something like that.

How did you know she was a he did she/he have a beard

Re:Annivers pics from the weekend

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:28:45 GMT

Ian,
You know, you really should learn to read

I SAID, the instructor asked her/his brothers whether 'it' was a he or a she. Naturally his brothers (who were in the same ski class as well) knew that he was a 'he'. The worst of it was that they said they'd tell him that I'd thought he was a girl all week. And they were absolutely rolling about laughing at me.

I couldn't tell because 'he' was only young, and 'he' was called 'Fred' which I thought was short for Frederica, because my morning ski instructor was called Fred and she was definitely female - French and short for Frederique.

It was quite one of the most awful things I've ever done, and should he ever read this, then he has my most abject apologies - I am a very stupid person.

I'll second that one

Re:Annivers pics from the weekend

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:39:53 GMT

Well,
The only thought that comforts me about this, is that the instructor didn't know either, which is why he had to ask his brothers.
But I still feel incredibly stupid.

Hi Greg/Kitenski,
Thanks very much, that's a most impressive list - I don't think I've got much hope of being able to ski like you, I've only done 7 weeks of ski-ing in my whole life, although I started when I was 8 years old (nearly 40 years ago).

It's simple you just need to do one season of 60-90 days and you'll ski most folk off the mountain

Re:Annivers pics from the weekend

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 13:32:12 GMT

What a good idea Kitenski,
When my younger daughter leaves home in a couple of years maybe I could get a job as a chalet middle aged lady (I've had plenty of practice at cleaning for holidaymakers), for 2-3 months in the winter when we don't have holidaymakers here, and I could ski in my spare time

The only thing is, I'd have to find something for my husband to do as well, and he doesn't ski, but he's a typical farmer and he's very good at doing repair and maintenance work.
