Show him the pics of your feet, Bandit.

I had a fairly gruesome description earlier, thanks. Nothing pictorial required.

Maybe you'll spend another couple of hundred quid trying to improve your boot-fit.

Anybody been?

The 30 minute transfer from innsbruck would clinch it for me.

I think its a bit risky to use whilst actually skiing, as it can't help your sense of awareness as to what's going on around you.

Surely when skiing your listening to Tony shouting 'NEIN!'

I try not to, buts its as unavoidable as a post-ski beer session, I'm afraid.

:D

Had Atomic and Elans in the past that were a lot easier to ski on...and cheaper!....maybe its time for some serious lessons!.
Ill try my luck in the forums trying to sell them there.

good idea, for most of us, at pretty much any level, money spent on lessons or coaching is always better for your technique than money on skis.

popular ski, I shouldn't think you'll struggle to sell them,

Absolutely - I can't emphasise the importance of having a good number of lessons and the occasional refresher.

Have they cleared away all the mines in Kapaonik?

Hi and welcome.

I have no idea about getting there from Berlin, but Borovets is cheap and by far the best of the Bulgarian resorts, with a fair amount of skiing.

Apres appears pretty good too and at a great price.

Maybe this will get you started on your search - good luck.
