Good Vid post ise!

He who laughs last eh!

ironic this was predicted 2006.

Came across the following web-site this morning www.x-rates.com, maybe you fellow ski dudes might find it comes in handy when and when not to buy.

Levi -Lapland-

For a mixed group of abilities.

100% snow cover.

15 mins trans.

Crystal/Inghams do some fantastic deals nearer the time.

A bit of a daft topic I know, however not being a shopper-other than sports shops-please could someone let me know were to buy BW.

Having just purchased my very first set of skis I wish to protect them the bag throwers sorry handlers at Gatwick.

About to start 4th season with a pair of middle of the range Spyders,we tend to go over the states every 18 month so the price was quite decent in comparison to buying here.

My criteria durable and warmth.

I still have a pair of thinsulate sport £10 my first pair however if I recall my fingers ust to get very numb resigned to dog walking duties now.

To those who maybe intrested just noticed the resort of Levi on Tv in the morning womens downhill.

I was looking at pre-booking my lift pass yesterday for Saas Fee, I think £190 for 6 days not a bad price.

Could anyone let me know if they have used this company before and if so good experiences or bad.

Many thanks.

Stayed hotel Flora -Jan 07- hotel V-Good.

Snow cover not very good.

Had to wait at least 25 mins in the morning for Gond also due to poor conditions same sort of wait at the end of the day, if snow better we would have been able to ski back to village.

Lots of drags, piste maint not the best.

Having spent almost 25yrs in the forces I am hardly a prude but the resort was rather tacky with lots of girlie bars,lap dance establishments etc.

Good resort for apre! a little amsterdam-ish for my likeing.
