or lack of it as the case is with me.

I started giving it a go on some blue runs last season, but stacked it pretty bad nearly doing some holiday ending damage to my knee.

I think what happened was I had too much weight on my downhill leg and the other one flapped around a bit, caught the inside edge, and crossed over my other ski, bad news.

Just wondered if anyone had some top tips for self teaching, beginner carvers.

My ski's are Fischer Virion's (2010) and a pair of Head vector 100 boots, if that helps...

haha!

touché!

That was really good until all the girlie screaming at the end.

Really? The web cams look pretty good...

I'm off on the 01/02/12, can't wait. Apparently when I went last year (Last week in January) they were experiencing the worst conditions in something like 10 years!

If that was supposed to be bad, this year is going to be my best trip yet, anywhere.

I'm eating a vanilla pastry as we speak/type.

Me too.

I think as a nation we need to stop treading on egg shells and force overweight people to accept that there lifestyle choice is gonna cost them more.

Or perhaps airlines should set a standard weight of 150kg per ticket and then allow you to 'sell' back part of your allowance thus reducing your ticket price.

I'm surprised airlines haven't started doing it already. With competition at an all time high between airlines, and big holiday companies dropping like flies, it's a huge selling point imo.

If a travel company told me I'd only be paying for my "baggage", and not subsidising someone who has an unhealthy obsession with waffles and apple turnovers, it's a no brinier.
