can I just ask.... I thought CN is really for more adventurous off piste skiers, but is this the case? I would never stray off the edge of the piste (not intentionally anyway!) and I have only ski'd in austria but now I am reading this thread I am wondering if it is a necessary option? (I do have winter sports cover insurance already).

apart from the austrians who treat visiting skiers as ten pins :(

Forby that, I still believe that all J2skiers could try and draw what they see, adjust, and get a result. Keep trying, and improve.

Drawing and painting are two skill sets, both can be learned. It fits in well with ski life.

I too cannot draw or paint (not that I have ever applied myself to either) but it reminded me of the best run I have done in my short skiing life, when I came down the length of the piste with my ski poles held in 'picture frame' position doing beautiful feeling turns, to a well done from my instructor :)
Maybe art and skiing are linked.

Wow! AllyG maybe you should start a side line business?

Finally I'm enjoying my skiing, and not a single fall in 49km of skiing, at a max pace of 73kph :)

Love it. But it reminds me of my second week of skiing when I returned to the hotel and proudly recounted my no-falls day to be told, 'well if you haven't fallen over at least 3 times in a day, you aren't trying hard enough' :(

I reckon it was probably sour grapes.

I don't usually do the sleeps till thing (did I say that before?) but am really appreciating seeing the numbers coming down :) Wish I was going on the J2ski hol, I enjoy a good wibble...
Thanks Ally G

my friend puts small ice cream tubs over each end of the skis inside the case then pads them with socks etc...
apparently it works

Does this mean I've been using my skis all wrong?
