Is there any particular way you are meant to keep them?

Well I've just got back from watching the British Touring Cars at Silverstone. It pissed down with rain the whole time but I was watching from inside the Vauxhall pit garage and could watch the crashes on the TV.

I am now going through all of my life in boxes and deciding what I need to take back to uni in a few weeks and what can be sold on ebay; a pair of Salomon Performa boots (size 29) or Atomic SX11 poles anyone (110cm)?

It includes return coach to Sheffield (my uni), 4* accomodation, 6 day lift pass, nightclub entry and race entry to Kings slalom and GS races.
there are some details on www.winterbreakuk.com. I have my own equipment and insurance which is why it is a little cheaper for me.
Not sure how many uni's are going but it is usually quite a few.

It will have to be good to beat BUSC at Hinterglem/Saalbach this year. 2 weeks, 2500 students and a lot of powder.

Get yourself on a student holiday (or blag it as a post-grad).
I am off to Mayrhofen in late december for Winter Break with my uni all for £369, a bargin.
Although if anyone is thinking of going and would prefer a quieter time, i wouldnt recomend going between 13th - 22nd December. :)

Hi Lynn,
I had ligament reconstruction last winter and did a lot of rehab with a sports physio. One of the best things I did was to kick a football (or similar) against a wall from close range and then move on to kicking the ball (with a sidestep) when it was against the wall so it has something to push against. As people have said, varying types of squats are great as well.
You could also try buying a small rubber jelly pad (the proper name escapes me) that you can balance on one leg on. It will be difficult at first but gets suprisingly easier quite quickly.
Hope this helps.

Enjoying the powder in Hinterglemm!
