And, I am sad to say, Frith Finlayson, who died in October. Frith qualified as a ski instructor in Switzerland, and later had a huge impact on the development of British skiing, founding the D'Ecosse ski school, and BAPSI, the forerunner organisation of BASI.

So, in terms of his contribution to skiing, I think I would call him a "Great".

He was a really nice guy, an icon of Cairngorm. The Manchester-based ski club in which I was a partner, used to hire our skis from his business.

Holiday time for me starts on Thursday..........which by the way guys is my birthday :D I'm off to New York for a week!! Went last year and 6 inches of snow fell overnight on our first night. It was just beautiful. Freezing cold, but lovely. Meeting up with my sister and neice who both live in the States, so that will be lovely. Not seen them since last year. I'm so excited!! Then when I get home will need to seriously look at booking a ski trip end of January. The good times roll on!!
