I would say rhythm is as important to skiing now as it has always been.

Trust me, I don't ski feet together (there is a time and a place for skidding though). However, I like to be in control and using a rhythmical style definitely allows me to do this.

I call them my rhythm sticks as they greatly aid my timing.

They are also great as a feeler - testing the state of the snow infront of you.

Not so easy when they're tight and you have quite big calves

My top tip is to get three quater length ones as if they go into your boots you can get blisters on your legs.
When did you start skiing

I was 12.

Our high school had a ski club and we went every Wednesday after school to Hillend.

The best thing about high school.
Should I drop my trousers?

I knew it was called "Emo" which I find strange as it looks more like '70s New york Punk.

And my ex used to wear girlie boxers all the time. Something very saucy about it.

I can't wait for the girlies to get into it!

I noticed that the skateboarders around Edinburgh have been wearing really tight clothing over the past couple of years.

Since skateboarding fashion usually feeds to snowboarding and park skiing I rekon that in the next few seasons they'll all be wearing skin tights lycra on the slopes. )
