Pretty good snow in Andorra at the moment, and a dump expected this weekend, so don't necessarily write that off.

Imbeciles! If your ID is successful in your local wetherspoons I suggest you go there for a week!

There's more going on up in Soldeu. Aspen, barcode, fat Albert's, pussycat and of course The Harp. L'Abarset in Tarter is quite lively for apres I'm told.

Spring conditions and warm out here at the moment, but snow holding up well and plentiful! Snowing lightly this morning.
Look forward to joining you for a pint( or two) in The Harp!

What an interesting debate. We started with one hypothesis and have perhaps arrived at a conclusion disproving it.

Surely a worn boot sole would release easier and more often. Are we suggesting this may be the reason for more injuries?

Cheap. Bulgaria.

Kowal. I, too, have personally seen a rise in the number of people tended to and removed from the slopes on 'blood wagons'.
I don't blame binding release settings for this, as most incidents appear to involve collisions, and are caused by reckless skiers or riders.
This recklessness, in my view, has been caused by ski technology making inexperienced skiers believe they can teach themselves rather than learn proper safety and slope etiquette in ski school.
Another reason, again in my view, and which will be controversial, is the now almost omnipresent use of helmets. These make people feel invincible, restrict peripheral vision, auditory function, and general slope awareness.
