Apres Snow Boots

I admit, though, that I don't indulge in any 'apres' - does this require walking boots :?: :lol:

This :roll: totally agree with Ian, even more so after 2 falls on an a very icy path in Tignes 2 years ago, was wearing standard/fashion trainers and went flying. Could have ruined my holiday but luckily i was pissed enough to not feel anything! Def invest in some hiking boots Nike ACG do some nice ones.

And that was a pretty awful crash, because I had my broken shoulder in a sling and I was carrying my daughter's skis for her. They hadn't cleaned the pavements at all. Luckily, the only thing I hurt was my elbow, and my shoulder was fine.

Last year, one of our party was wearing walking boots and she fell over with a nasty bang crossing the road in Courchevel and hurt her neck.

Is this going to become another helmet type thread :?: :lol:

I'm going to continue wearing my trainers, as I haven't had a problem with them yet :D

Each to their own I suppose :D
