I know I am in the minority here, but I thought last years format was much more fun. Thats why I watch High Altitude, I guess.

I agree Tony, much preferred last years format, unfortunately we do seem to be the minority, hence the 2 different programs - ho hum

Oooo pancake day - that's soon isn't it?

Great colour!

Has anyone done much in the way of summer sking, particularly on the glacier in Tignes - just thinking about a trip in the summer and if it's worth it, what the costs are in the summer months etc.

:D

Did you watch the skiing from Val d'Isere yesterday, because one of the skiers did just that, and totally lost it.

I can only suggest a copy of the Warren Smith DVD, it has helped me focus on a few key issues a lot.

Funnily enough that's what prompted the question, I'm sure I ski with my weight on my uphill ski all the time and it feels 'normal' but then I haven't been skiing since last March so will find out in a couple of weeks!

Thanks for the advice both :-)

As a self taught skier then boarder, I have recently gone back to skiing and finally had a couple of lessons, however I seem to have forgotten one of the basics: when turning, am I right in saying that your weight should be transferred to your downhill ski?

I would recommend Mayrhofen - great place.
