Bandit - why is the return so much cheaper :?:

If you put the date and time you might be able to share a private transfer/car share with people on here, if anyone's going at the same time as you.

Thanks :D

I've added you to the list.

The solar powered drag lift in Tenna seems to be a big success. It carries 800 skiers per hour.

And we have now put a 4Kwh PV solar array in one of our fields by the house. It doesn't run a drag lift though :cry:

Well, I have made another one. Here it is:



I hope it doesn't use up too many computer whotsits, and I haven't nicked it cos the website says it's free :lol:

Smileys with helmets and bobbles on will be tomorrow's challenge :wink:

Well, I said I would like to stop my boots getting wet inside. I don't know if it's because my feet sweat loads when I'm ski-ing or if it's because they leak. I rather think it's because they leak as it seemed to be much worse when I was ski-ing (and falling) in powder.

Does everyone think it would be alright if I found/made some small ski-related smileys for all of us to use as required in our posts?

Or, has anyone else already found some new suitable smileys?
