Hi Sunnyboy,
I always take the stairs instead of the lift down to the locker room from our apartment, and I find the effort of getting ski boots on and walking a few hundred yards in them carrying my skis is a great warm up!

The only time I feel in need of warm up exercises is when it's extremely cold and windy and I've been sitting on a freezing chair lift for quite some time. In those sort of circumstances the instructors make us jump up and down, do stretches, and swing our arms around and things to get the circulation going again before we set off ski-ing.

And I've never done anything special afterwards either. As before, I find the effort of getting back to the apartment quite enough! But I guess a hot soak in a bath or jacuzzi after ski-ing is a good idea to relax tired muscles.

I reckon it's more important to get your ski muscles flexible and fit before the holiday, than to do warm up exercises.

Thanks very much Snapzzz for going to the trouble of writing the report and posting the pictures :D

He's probably so busy ski-ing and having fun that he hasn't got time to post messages on here. I wish I was busy ski-ing :cry:

Well I'm glad it wasn't you Iceman in that video :D

I was thinking it would make a good ad for one of those don't drink and ski campaigns!

And best of luck with getting rid of the last Mrs Iceman and starting again and finding a new, and better, one.

Form an orderly queue.

That was posted almost 5 hours ago and no replies :cry:

Maybe the eligible single ladies had been watching that video of the guy who was so drunk he couldn't get his skis on and kept falling flat on his face in the snow :lol:

Was that really you Iceman? As a tea-totaller I was really shocked :shock:

How did you get on finding a suitable singles ski holiday?

Best of luck with finding a suitable singles ski holiday Iceman, and I hope you find someone to go with in 2013 :D

I've got to go now - it's Valentine's don't you know :wink:

On it now, is painful :(

Hey, that's better :D

Well, seeing as you are in marketing, I'm sure you could think of a way to 'package' yourself in a more attractive manner and possibly hiring your skis wouldn't matter too much :wink:

Good, I've got my smilies back :D

Iceman - Just leave everything to me, Ian, and Rose. Once we've sorted it we'll let you know where you're going :wink:

Just make sure you're looking your best and don't forget to bring your skis :D

Oh - and I think I've solved the mystery of why my smilies don't work sometimes. It happens everytime I quote you. You must be using that odd mobile J2Ski and it's affecting me as well :shock:
