Yes, the Brachistochrone Curve does assume no friction. Moreover, the theory only applies from an an initial point of zero velocity, hence Rainmaker can be taken to be partly correct, (allowing for the friction error), but is only true from an initial start point of zero velocity. Hence, assuming an impossible but theoretical frictionless ski, the theory only holds for a single turn, when starting from an initial point with zero velocity. I thought everyone knew that? |

Yes, was thinking of a thread about this today. The TOs fix their lift pass prices at a date in the year, and it may be that this year, the brochure prices will be higher than resort or TO bus prices. |

Icy, that's your cue to start the 2015 group holiday thread...... Good, Now that's sorted, maybe we can get back to sorting out 2016. |

It does seem somewhat premature, two seasons hence. I'm still dropping HUGE hints to my OH about going skiing this coming week. I'm trading a new bathroom, cutting down a dozen trees, decorating the hall/landing, and installing underfloor heating in the conservatory.
She says that is double counting, I traded all of those for my January bash. :cry: |

Thanks for the offer of ski guide for the group, but, I am busy that week.
Anyway, I agree that Niederau is totally unsuitable, it's a rubbish resort. You will never catch me there. There is no colour about the place: 
The ski rental is garbage: 
No snow cover: 
Too much inbreeding: 
Another bad snow day: 
Rubbish architecture: 
The ski instructors can't keep their skis, (or their pants), on: 
The drunks keep leaving their kit behind: 
The wimmin have more style than the guys, and that is just unacceptable: 
The place is just too crowded: 
And finally, the area is just too flat for experienced skiers: 
Nope, as I said, you won't catch me..... |

Naahh, I've got one already, only prob is that the contents of the buckets are mine, erm,ours, errm, ...... FQ, you can rattle Speedies cage as much as you like for me, but you had better be fast enough to catch her first! |

Not new, FQ, AFAIK, she is still available, but man, you had better be able to hold your drink! Iceman's gone very quiet! |
