I do wear a pair of warm up pants, i don't feel the cold but I don't fancy going commando :shock:


Warm up pants. :lol: What are they? Are they a bit like pull up pants?

I'm ok as long as I don't over do it and am wearing my knee support.

I have a number of photos similar to this of slopes I skied in Verbier. I have to say that the very first time I got to the top (too late to turn back) I really wondered what my purpose on this planet was, but when I got to the bottom I realised what it was. Technically difficult in terms of never having been taught to ski on this kind of terrain but a massive sense of achievement having done so. I promptly went back to the top and did it again.
Verbier has lots of linked runs and itinery routes like this, very much the same in St Anton. My wife nearly killed me when I persuaded her to tackle some runs like this, but I knew she was competent enough to handle it and she was better than me!
I think this kind of stuff is why I bought fatter skis.....


I'd give it a go. :D

That's very cheap. So what else have you got to pay for - just lift passes and food? The lift passes are so expensive now. It's totally unbelievable how much they cost, 7 days for 3 valleys = 267 euros.

I'll only need 6 days £208 :shock: I might sell off some of my kit on ebay!


What have you got for sale ?, you might get a buyer on J2ski 8)


Not sure yet that I've got anything I want to part with. I do have several ski jackets and sallos but I like them all!

No socks I'm afraid. :lol:
