Dry slopes

Only one sensible post - from Roger.
Dry slopes will find out poor technique. They are great for practice, and perfecting your technique.

I'm sure some slopes are in better nick than others, but they are the only option for many, and far cheaper to ski on than indoor snow.

Maybe we're lucky, but Snowtrax at Hurn is really well run and have just replaced the matting on the main slope.

That's a bit harsh, I'm sure he's done more than one. )

I'm with the "hate" camp. More realistic practice on the Wii with a balance board. Man, am I good at ski jumping or what.

Poor Roger. I hope you haven't frightened him off now :lol:

The boy loved it, so I'm going back - nd if I'm there I'm going to ski.

Thanks for the advice; I'll get hire skis, work on my technique, and wear mitts to save myself from broken fingers.

:D

Don't listern to all these anti dry slope peps, there is nothing wrong with dry slope skiing just a slightly different approach which is needed...... as it is slower than snow you just need to point them downhill a touch more :thumbup:
