we see lots of kite surfing here but never seen it on the snow.

We have taken the precaution of hiring thermal suits and boots........what if they look like that. :lol:

On the r/h side under Technologies, most of the headings lead to little moving demos of the features. Many of the features are common to all makes of touring bindings.

Hi Bandit, thanks for that, I will certainly do some investigation while I am away. I really think its the way for us. We are not ones for up the lifts, down the slopes, then repeat. We want to get up under our own steam, have a walk round, come down in our time. We are certainly non conformist skiers.

Rose, did you see the footage of touring bindings and skins in use in the early part of the film?

I imagine it's quite hard to get to be that good :D

I did and then watched it again. Would that be the sort of set up suitable for what I want?

Thats excellent, I wonder how hard it is to do?

Dave M, whats a munro-bagger?

aye Rose, I can hear the brain popping!

They are mountains over 3000 ft. There are around 284 of them in Scotland, Ross will correct me, and named after Sir Hugh Munro, the first person to climb them all.

Some of them are easy strolls, some are life-threatening, in the wrong conditions. Actually, I suppose they can all be LT if the conditions are wrong.

Mountains over 2,500 ft, (or foothills, as my Austrian friends call them!), are called Corbetts, after John Rooke Corbett. They must have a drop of 500 ft between them to qualify. 221 0f these

A mountain over 2000 ft is called a Graham. Min drop between peaks is 150m, and there are 224 of them.

There are a lot of other named categories, including "Wainwrights"

Well I never you learn something every day :lol:

You must be a little aprehensive but I bet within a couple of hours you will feel your confidence returning. Ibuprofen, yes probably the best you can buy over the counter. But possibly better Voltarol on prescription.
Enjoy Caron-A.
