Tried several times, Bandit, but always "video not found"

Yeah, but Coop, wait til you get older!

Gosh, I sound like my mother!

Tino, you are an example to us all. That's a great way to add speed to what is already formidable!

my fitness level stays steady all year. When I come off the winter, I play between eleven and twelve hours tennis each week + some hill & dog walking.
However, fitness is only half of the story for skiing. Skiers need two further elements ~ strength and endurance. TBH, endurance is somewhat optional, because you can choose how much skiing to do in a day. Strength, however, is an important element for keeping yourself, and others, safe. We all endure moments during our skiing day, when, either we have made an error, or someone else does something dangerous or unexpected. Strength multiplies our ability to use our skills to stay safe.
Between 15 min and 60 min per day, just on leg/knee strength & core exercises would be right.

Righto, Tino, I think we have evolved and fine tuned this system. Essentially:
1) Paint the piste white
2) Have one of these snow-making gizmos at he top, hidden inside the Gondola housing
3) Snow production will be fed ito a bucket, on the back of the Gondola/chairlift, thus powering the uphill Gondola/chairlift
4) There will be a gradual and controlled release of snow from Gondola going downhill.

We can split the royalties from the patent.

Yowee, I meant as a sun reflector, to attain cooler rocks prior to the evening snow switch on. Would certainly be effective, although the eco guys and gals might object.

I gather that you were up for boarding on white painted rock! Steady Tino, that's a life-shortening sport!

Broom, ski amada may not yet have their season prices fixed yet, but more likely, they just haven't entered them on line.
It does look as though the season pass will be in the region of 600 eu, with a 70 eu discount if booked pre-december.
Send an email to the tourist office?

Wickers, season pass for LGB, about 320 Eu, if booked by mid-Dec. Thats a business expense!
