I was on a football trip to Brighton back in the mid eighties, we had an evening at the dogs and the last race of the night there was a dog
running called "Wickham's lad", not being much of a gambler I put a tenner on it, and it came in last, that was the last time I have ever had a bet. :evil:

Looking down the finishers it's a good job I didn't bet. Gentleman Jim came 9th!
I've been to the horse racing and the dogs and never won a penny. An old work mate used to go to the parade ring and see which horse had the best looking stable girl. He always bet on the horse with the best tottie and he always came away with more cash than the rest of us :shock:

I've not got the T5 but have read plenty of reviews as I was looking to buy a pair. They'd be my choice.

I hear the sound of a HUGE can of worms being opened!!

This was certainly the case in Grindelwald. There's a roped off area close to the gondola station with a measuring stick. I suppose it can only be a guide to ski conditions. Each piste will have variations from the quoted snow depths due to amounts of sunshine, wind, snow cannons etc.

Safe trip & enjoy! :-)
