Sounds like a bargain, were they the Super Mountain or Cross Over model?

Nice to see someone who is easily pleased. I have some old UPVC facia boards in the garage. Don't leave the waxing iron on them too long. Can you make use of them? :wink: There must be one pair your fancy FGS :D

Trencher,
Sorry Mate, that makes four pairs in total however, I'll take it as the Rossi Avenger 82ti. Must have a look at them they sound the business. I thought you may be swayed towards the Palmer PO2 Carbons :wink:

Well Alistair for me it is just like the expensive football boots I used to buy they never seemed to make me a better player or the expensive cricket bats I used to buy never seemed to convert to enough hundreds :D

Yes, there is something to be said for that. Both the boys brought Head skis in a package from S&R a few years ago. Nothing to bling but when it comes to skiing they both make their Dad look very average. My excuse being, my poor old back problem :wink:

If money was no object and for example - your ship comes in or your numbers come up or you come into a nice lump sum and you could purchase just one pair of new skis.

What pair would you purchase? They maybe a pair of refurbished classics or a brand new contemporary state of art pair. Piste, powder or whatever!

I would have a pair of Kessler Phantoms in 163 - because I'm worth it :lol:

What would you have?

Oh Yes, the J2ski Caravan is coming to town near you! 8)

That sounds promising, plenty of time to plan a ski in. We would possibly consider driving down next time although, I will need one of those roof boxes for the skis and kit. Its certainly an option worth thinking about.

NIIIXSY,

Agreed, when the snow is good Sauze is a great resort. Lots of nice tree runs :wink:

We have been very lucky, in what has been a dreadful year for snow. Obergurgl in December was great with our first real experience of skiing powder during the white week. Andorra in February (the first week) was clinging on by its fingernails. A thin hard pack and lots of ice however, bluebird days and still skiing the mountain. Serre Chevalier in March, great snow up the mountain suffering lower down in the afternoons but you could still ski right to base camp, apart from Briancon of course.

Phew Lucky or what :D
