I always thought that park skis had a different material on the base but i was wrong. They are just the same aren't they?
I assume they wear out so much quicker though.
Skied: Arinsal, La Plagne, Alpe D'huez, Flaine, Les Arcs, Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz, Sauze, Courchevel, Val Thorens

I couldn't help noticing someone at a bus stop a few weeks ago with one of his skis broken cleanly in half. I wondered if he had been messing around in the park!

It is very warm now and it rained yesterday so skiing lower down was getting very slushy also quite heavy further up. There is still plenty of cover and the temps have dropped over night. The forecast is for more rain down in the village but about 20 cms of snow higher up.

I love this time of year - There's a very good end of season atmosphere here, skiing in T shirts, bbq's on the go all around, live music outside and friends and parties and making plans.

I skied from 10.30am until 4.45 yesterday. I started the day with an overwhelming urge to get a good work out. My friend waited for me while I skied the Swiss Wall and then we decided to ski all the blacks in Avoriaz amongst other things. The last run home was excruciating because we were so worn out (everything seemed more of an effort in soft heavy snow) but it was a brilliant day, every ski day is a brilliant day...I don't want to go home :-(
