Still tinkering with the ownership thing.

Everyone I speak to says just rent ... you don't have to mess around at airports and if you hit a stone then you lose.

I understand both sides of the argument ... but if people improve every holiday then why buy ?

I am probably like yourself, where I would prefer to own my own "stuff" ......

Maybe I will have a look at the end of season sales .....

Do you know of any organisation for men where they can go skiing for a weekend if their other halves think 1 week per year is enough ??

(then I'll get more from buying!!)

Don't get Ski Sunday over here but my father fills me in on the important things.
I do get Eurosport 1 and 2 ... live skiing every weekend so today was able to see Lindsey Vonn do her thing and then Ms Alcott do the same, albeit a tiny bit slower.
Why does she have to wear those pink plasters on her face ?

Tony.... what was your first "owned" pair of skis ??

Thanks for the reply, Bandit.

Don't have that card I'm afraid .. and I'm not familiar with Molitor.
Though I think it's about 100 metres down the road from from the gondola.
Intersport has that fantastic "depot" where you leave your skis and boots every evening.

As said ... all been done before ... do a search and you will find the threads.

I don't think I could ski with earphones in ... I need to hear what's going on around me.

Sound a bit like Twister !! (not that I have ever tried that)

Think a Wii fitness board sounds like the way forward though ....

But I presume alcohol is involved .......

Wow,

I had read before about your knee problem but didn't know about not being able to turn on the right leg.

I would be mortified if I had to give up skiing .....

Hope it goes well and you love the board as much as the planks !

Anyone care to fill me in on the Cornflake box game ?

Obviously been living abroad too long ......

Hi there,

I have checked out the discount given by Skiset on this site and it doesn't cover Wengen.
The nearest place with the discount is in Grindelwald.

I know I will most likely be renting skis from Intersport by the gondola ... does anyone know if it is possible to get a discount by paying up front or have a discount code for internet booking ?

Thanks,

G
