Shame to hear that Pavel is unwell; as Dave says, always full of interesting insight and generous in his advice and comments. Get well soon Mr P :)

Thanks for the encouragement and wise words, Dave. Meanwhile, webcam surfing is now happily occupying me, at least for the present :)

A happy ending; good news. Hope my ending turns out the same, as I took a fall just before Christmas in Austria. Thinking all I had done was twisted my left knee, and after getting that sorted out very well and very quickly in the local hospital, I came home and thought a few weeks would soon see me back on skis. However, once back home, I developed some pretty nasty headaches, which are not something I suffer from usually, and quickly it was discovered that there was bleeding under the skull which required operating on. The rest of this season is definitely a wash-out; as for next season, we'll have to wait and see, but all the comments above are relevant and helpful. Oh, and yes, I was wearing a helmet, albeit a cheap and cheerful end-of-season offer from a well-known high street sports chain.

.... only in the sense of meaning someone with a youthful, lively, vibrant sense of fun, of course ;)

You bet.

Reading all of the above, fascinating though it all is, I'm so glad my own modest skill level makes me quite happy with on-piste skiing !

And I'm away on Friday; skiing Saturday through until end of Tuesday in a little place I've never heard of before, Uttendorf. Can't wait !
