Damn, I thought that having learned so many different ski techniques through the years, I would not have to pick up another one.
Now, I wonder who has a Rocker Ski Manual.....
New Boots, what would you do?

CEM is a podiatrist, who has a business bootfitting. Bandit swears by them, and on that basis, I recommended them to a friend. She did think that the sales experience was odd, but the important thing is that she has well fitting boots.
CEM is based in Bicester.
Grand Bornand anyone?

£500 -£750, (faint), (recover) Gosh, Let me think, 43 years skiing.
Pair 1, unbranded, lace-ups, £3.00, sold for £10.00
Pair 2, Kofflachs, new, £49.00, lasted 4 seasons, ended up with Jetsticks bolted to the back, sold for £49.00
Pair 3, Lange, new, bought at Fleets in Sydney, £70, lasted 12 years or so, cracked across the base, ended up as a bird nest in the garden.
Raichle rear entry, £120-ish, new, have I mentioned them before? Fabulous boots, 23 years, (so far), wondering if I could get them refurbished? Never had any fitting, and they don't seem to hold me back!
iPod friendly helmets.

Hi Chumk, welcome to J2ski. Check out natives.co.uk. If you have a favourite Austrian resort, try emailing the local tourist board, OK to do this in English. Also, depending on what type of work you want to do, you can contact businesses direct. A well written CV, mailed to the manager, shows a proper level of prsentation.

There is always a turnover in jobs, so every season there are new jobs everywhere. I had 4 seasons, but I started off, just driving to a place in Austria with some mates ~ we all managed to get work.
Towards the end of the season

Enjoyed the vimeo, OPS, takes me back to walks up in the Lakes, skiing on 2m wide snow gullys, not as steep though.
