That's an awesome talent.....Send some snow to the PDS next week please!

Bit picky this year arn't we Snapzzz :) some of us may have had a drink TOOO many last night and whose spelling and context may be a little confused

I am well over 60, started skiing only in my late 50's and initially had the same problems as Tony's mate. However after a few lessons from a french instructor my stance was corrected, putting my shins onto my boot tongues and getting my weight forward. Not only did I not get SO tired but found I was skiing with far more confidence, better able to control the skies both at low (and higher) speed and had far more time to enjoy the environment around me. I do not think that I am a great skier but am now able to take on virtually all runs from blue to black with confidence, maybe not as quick as some but certainly no slouch either. I am however pretty fit and am positive that makes a lot of difference. I even enjoy a little off piste but have to say I still hate moguls!! :D

Try Tripadvisor

He's probably got a bobble on underneath!! :lol:

Shame Jitarci1...but then again many of us think Italy is far better than Austria, cheaper, better food, not as far to drive(if you do) etc. Nevertheless more room for those of us that like it there.

Merry Christmas from all at the Bald_eagleman household. Hope none of you are flooded out.

Travel safe everyone...make it a merry christmas
