Yes.

It definitely looks like the Alpine Chough to me. It's a member of the crow family. :D

This Thursday and the snow out there is crap right now :evil:

It's not that bad, there's 50 cm at the top and pistes are reported to be 'good' at the moment. :D

I don't have a clue where they are either - I am just guessing wildly, but it is fun.

How about Bansko?

It can't be Bulgaria as there are no little old ladies charging £2 to use the toilet.

Davos?

All you need to worry about is your core strength and leg muscles. For me getting a sweat for 20 minutes every day is good enough, by whatever means possible ) . That might be a brisk walk, a short run, chasing around London with a briefcase up and down the escalators, or just some simple exercises at home. What I do ensure is that for at least 6 weeks leading up to skiing I work on strengthening my quads and core muscles a little by doing some stretches, crunches, and leg lifts. I dont feel the need to do much more than that TBH. If I was 24 stone, I might perhaps see it somewhat differently.

I don't run or chase around London with a briefcase, but the rest of the above is exactly what I do. Mainly because I don't want to ever be 24 stone. :lol:

I think having a marvellous skiing holiday will do. I think some people might be taking this getting fit for skiing just a little too seriously.

Yes I agree...especially Rose!
