I am so impressed with all of you that are having surgury to allow you to ski again. The dedication required to get fit after it is something that at my age I cannot quite contemplate. The trouble is as one thing mends another breaks down and I would spend 99% of my time either under the knife or getting fit. Guess I will live with all the knocks I now get and learn to ski with a little more care to extend the time I have left on the slopes -)

Take them.....or ask for a ski upgrade to something you would really like to try :D

Would you accept a non qualified person to fit a boiler or do dodgy electrics in your home? Look at what just happened in Lake District, exactly why countries have laws to protect consumer and the person who has invested in getting correct credentials. Responding back with list of exceptions to various laws and what/when/exactly they should apply to, this is promotion of chaos. Western society is civilized because of laws, guy could not follow them, society therefore expects punishment.

I think this is following a previous thread...when (and is) a ski host an instructor?....Many on this forum have their views....French instructors and French people tend to agree with this (French) law the other 69000 tend to disagree. When the French follow all the EU laws set out...I think it has been shown they are the least likely nation to heed EU legislation unless it is to their advantage then perhaps I may listen...till then I'm holidaying in Italy, Austria,Switzerland and anywhere other than France that has snow....And curiously I like the French!! -)

Try Bialka and Kaprowky Weich and base yourself at Zakopane. It is a lovely town but must say the skiing is not joined. However you can have a good day each at the above resorts but if you are a reasonable skier you will struggle to get a week as the runs are limited. But if you are in the area!!

Ta very much Ally. You are doing an epic job keeping us all up to date on days to go!! -)

Might do....I'll let you know on the 13th april :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Done

Thanks for that Wickers..Its good to note you are in your constructive mode! -)
