The main difficulty for the racers is the length of the run. Average race time approx 2mins 30secs. Not sure of the technical difficulties for the 'average' skier. Tino will have better info on that.
Have a look on TV next weekend it's Lauberhorn race day.

I wouldn't think that a neoprene glove will have much insulation value. They're designed to insulate best when wet.

Surely you'd be better spendng a few quid on a pair of glove liners? OH has a 'silk' pair that she uses under her gloves and says they're the dog's doo dahs. OH suffers from poor circulation in her hands but the liners have always kept her warm even at temps down to -20c.

If you hang on a few days I'm sure the J2ski party that have arrived / are arriving :( in ADH will have full and detailed report for you.

Concur with bandit.
You need to take advice as to whether a support will be of any benefit. I once used a knee support for sports thinking it was helping only to be told by a physio that I was making things worse. My symptoms were similar to yours but caused by damaged knee cartlidge so by wearing a support I was holding the upper and lower cartlige faces tight together and excacerbating the problem.

HNY all! Getting together with neighbours & kids for a night in, then down to village square for fireworks at midnight.
Kids are having a fashion show at the minute deciding what to wear! :)

Ha ha! Worth a shot.

You can buy ski pass online so I would guess no photo required.
