I find this very confusing I must admit.
Why carry a spare bladder skiing?
I would have thought that nowadays most of the main lifts have toilet facilities and the problem/need would have been eradicated?
:oops:

I carry a rucksack .....
But aren't the contents similar to my wifes' handbag - a total mystery as to what is in their and only ever cleared out once a year?
:roll:

And fresh tracks - lucky s*** !!!

Grande Motte - Panoramique restaurant @ 3000m - looks a bit nippy!
:mrgreen:

OK - here goes, maybe not specatacular in the sense of great waves of snow, sliding for miles, head first etc etc etc

But the effect was pretty good.
Son and I pootling down a green road, getting from A to B. Ski school in front, tiddly ones :D
They were taking a little jump at the side of a piste, by a pole. One kid got a ski on either side of pole - crash! Upside down etc etc.
Knight in shiny red ski gear - me :roll: - stops checks she's OK, picks her up to untangle skis, legs, arms etc from the pole .....
And promptly falls over, backwards, with small child on top!
Both stuck - son laughing head off, shuffles over to help, profers ski pole, I grab it and pull ...
He falls over!
By this time the ski instructor has shuffled back up the slope to rescue her kid - and is having clear hysterics, crying with laughter.
Eventually untangle everything and everybody to receive a round of applause from an audience that had gathered to watch.
Most embarassing :oops:

Amazing!

Yes it is!
And the Telepherique cabin is still stuck half way up after breaking down at the weekend.

:D nothing more to say .....
