I think some-one was asked what their ambition was and the reply was 'Just to ski' :lol:

Top tip for smelly or excessive sweating feet.
Use a specially prepared solution of Formaldehyde { the liquid used in preserving and pickling body parts, or embalming} It has to be used with care but is a listed british formulary. It works by stunning the sweat glands. Alternatively use Driclor or Anhydrol Forte, normally used for excessive sweaty pits, but can be used on feet and hands. Available on prescription but can be bought without. Works a treat.

I am already investing in every-thing that can be heated, boot warmers, glove warmers etc, just looking for heated knickers now :lol:

I believe the phrase is "limited extent"

I am going to Finland next year because I fancied something different. But I think Tony is right I think the amount of runs will be quite limited. For us though because we board, ski and cross country ski I think it will be fine for us, we are quite new to the sport. We also wanted all the snow experiences, husky, reindeers, northern lights,snowmobiles etc.

The only place I can think of that lets you take your own coach in, is a tennis club. Providing one person is a member of the club, and they pay full court fees your own coach can go in and give you a lesson, even though they have their own coaching staff. I suppose there is no danger factor involved.

Brilliant. We had an unexpected tour of the alps last year, although not in a jet and not that low, but was still amazing.
Our plane had just started its descent into Innsbruck and then shot up again, the pilot announced that we could not land because of severe fog, just lying over the airport. So we went around the alps for 45mins until the fog had lifted a bit. We landed on second attempt, we were the first plane to land that day. Amazing views.

We have not heard from Tino-11 for a while, he used to be an active member on here.

When are we leaving?

Hmm, now I'm confused - just got in from a bike ride in probably the warmest temperatures since, er, I can't remember. What's that all about then? Not complaining though... very pleasant.

Its mad weather, I was over the allotment this morning and got sunburnt, and now the evening time I am freezing.
