So, my 215 White Stars were good then? - )

Seemed to remember Toni Sailor liked them!

Actually, No guy ever skied on less than 205s. Even the women skied 190s.
Fantastic pictures, by the way Pabs! (IOU a Smilie, none available on Windows 7)
Glenshee evening sun

Sheeet, lifes a bitch.
No, nothing between "evening" and the picture. I suspect this might be a Windows 7 issue. On my new laptp, I cannot see smilies, so I guess it may be an associated issue. Thanks for helping.

Thank you, and have signed up to Flickr Pabs:

So Glenshee, some weeks ago:



Top pictures, Pablo. Still trying to upload my Glenshee pics to photobucket, cannot even get the "organise" page loaded.

Headed up to Aviemore tomorrow, directly after the Guide Dog class, but my knee went AWOL today, when playing tennis, so I'm not sure if I will manage.

What a great season for Scotland.

It's great skiing, I've watched this many times.But ~ while it is hot to watch, and it does excite my skiing instincts However, I respectfully suggest it is a million miles away from the average J2skiers ability, and aspirations. (in terms of this thread anyway) I include myself in the description "average".

Great skiing, I watch loads of these videos. How about some videos that the J2guys can relate to? Some time ago, I watch a vid of some average guys jumping off through the trees, from the top of the Schatzberg down to InnerAlpbach. Lots of inexperience and falling. A daft thing to do, because you are then involved with at least 3 buses/train/taxi transfer.

To me, it was the heart of "having a go!"
