thanks for your replies

Collin, the issue I have with the drift is the same I have with the Sony, it needs to live in that plastic case making it even larger, without it, it is vulnerable to damage, especially the screen, or am wrong?

I thought I ask have any of you got sports cams, which do you have?

I have decided against a gopro as it is square, I was going to get the Sony AC100 but like with the GoPro the shape is awkward especially if you not wearing a helmet and needs to live in its protective case.

Looking at the bullet cameras with a Rollei coming out top and a ION Air following it, although the ION is maybe better as it has WIFI

I was really tempted by the 7Twenty but some videos on yout ube put me off and there is a camera called the lorex lsc015 but i was put off by it on reviews

any one with any knowledge of these cameras

I want it for skiing but other things too, swimming, cycling, running, horse riding

Hi,

There are heavy snowfalls in Polish ski resorts atm.
Plenty of snow so should last until your trip.
Where are you going to stay in Poland?

Hi

Krakow (need to get round to booking a hotel). Weather forecast is for rain second part of next week.

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!!

I love Zakopane, although I now the skiing is not great, not been for some years now. Last time I was there it was like water skiing over ice.

Hi to everyone, not posted this year at all :)

Usually go on at least two ski holidays a year, this year I had non, employer issuse, family illness stopped me going

looking at snow reports how long will the snow last for.

my employer is sending me to Poland for a week in 13 - 20 of this month, with ski resorts an hours drive away, then i have been promised 10 days off.

where to go?

Last year vowed never to go later then mid March as the skiable slops become fewer but the ski passes stay high priced

You can ski up to 10pm on floodlit runs in Poland and if memory serves me right up to 7pm in Finland

Done the organised one once, I would much prefer to ski down and then have something to eat.

Some years ago in the good old days when I had friends we went to Slovakia and found a ski lift still working at 10 at night. So up we went.

Coming down in the dark with no lights one of our party damaged her ligaments and another her shoulder, spent most of the night in hospital.
