Look at it another way:

With the credit cruch there will be lots of cheap deals to be had on grear and trips.

I'm not exactly rolling in cash at the best of times but I'm puting away the cash now to get the bargains when they appear.

Did you try it?

How did it taste (if you did)?

Mine are prawn cocktail

Since you mentioned bodies and wanting bodies, and of course those young ladies I have to ask you a very personal question!

Please feel free if you do not wish to answer it!
I should say that it also is a way to ask a Scot some "advice"!

Have you ever worn that famous Scottish "kilt" while skiing! Why I ask is that my wife is part Scot and some years ago she bought me the full attire!

I do not know why,,but I have this desire to wear it one day while Spring skiing! I mean the full full dress up!!!

My skiing life will then be complete!

PS You have inspired me to have another Pavel Contest in which the most "unusual ski outfit will win a pair of North face pants! (coming in July)

I have skied in my kilt, sporran, argyle jacket,shirt and dickie bow. Unfortunately, I lost my sgian dubh and it is probably somewhere in a marmot hole in La Plagne.

One word of advice - if you fall make sure to pull your kilt down quickly.

I picture Pavel's home as a Zen retreat on top of a mountain (with lots of skis paraphernalia).
Ski disciples trekking up the mountain in search of enlightenment.

Could you give us a full break down of the gear?

Do I not get a squirrel related bonus prize? :D

2, Insure your skis are stored flat and with a good covering of wax.

3, Plan your winter trip(s) (you have to have something to look forward to)

4, Repair, fix, and if you aboslutely must replace any damaged equipment (including clothing).

5, Scour Ebay for bargains

10, Irritate the hell out of your partner whith your constant chat about skiing (especially the really exagerated ones about powder days and big hucks)

6, Persuade your partner that moving to Canada and working as a liftie/instructor is a sensible idea.

7, Visit your mate at the brewery (nothing to do with skiing but so worth it)

8, Point to the scar on your chin which you got falling over at the pool when you were 5 and claim it was from a cliff jump accident.

9, Whatch You Tube ski videos and pine
