Yipes, I'm not saying that is the norm. Yes, ask the surgeon, thats what I did.....

Had a quick squint today at the flight costs, but all up, would have been £200/£300. Thats a weeks skiing!
There are likely to be a few people to catch up with, (apart from the esteemed J2skiers, of course), but there you go.

Knock, knock!

I had been quoted 13 weeks from Op to skiing, but then the surgeon for got to book me in. I threatened to send the bill for a family ski week to the hospital. That quickly put paid to the sniffy secretary that was dismissing my protests.

In the event, there was an eleven week gap. I was ever so careful. Sometimes took 4 minutes to ski down. :twisted:

So you have rentals then do you? There's nothing worse than skiing on mud and stone on your own skis - especually when you hear that sound - the one that you just KNOW is going to be expensive!

Use my own, don't care, fill the bases, sharpen the edges.

You need roller skis for those rolling Austrian hills :wink:

Heck, I'd fall for sure, I don't do falling, well, not often.

Mmmm, a friend of mine and , I think, yours, has just moved into a rental near Innsbruck. Instead of paying 608 Eu for a Tirol season pass, she will be paying 450 Eu.
You can also, get a reduction on an Allstar pass, if bought before Dec 4th.

Admin, you can't get the heli to pick me up, (and drop me off) in Fife?
Mind you, Franz Klammer and Chemmy Alcott all in one month......
