because Porkpie specifically said "She's alright with reds, but she's only truly happy when she's in control, so doesn't like too many reds at once"

So needs to be a little more circumspect

I can get anywhere to anywhere in 3V but if I have beginners/timid intermediates then I have to think about the route a lot more as the last thing that you want to do is to scare the you know whats out of someone when they should be enjoying one of the greatest ares in the world

Andy, if you "turnaround" you can see what looks like the Google car with a man sticking out of the top :shock:

I really hope that's actually a skidoo.... :oops:

Interestingly none of the mapped resorts (according to the blog list) are in France. Maybe the French are like the Chinese and don't trust Google......

Judging my your sig line you'll not be in the UK til June to dish them back out...... -)

Thanks for the offer

we did have quite a heavy snow fall in Newcastle on Wednesday with a lot of black ice around that gridlocked the City Centre due to jack knifed buses etc (Newcastle is a series of steep hills down to the river)

Still amazes me how many people cant drive in it though - one of my colleagues had to go and get his wife as she's got her Merc stuck on black ice and couldn't shift it. I'd ban rear wheel drive cars in the UK as people clearly can't adjust when we do get a bit of snow

... and that's the basic skillset covered! :lol:

What sport should we move on to once we've mastered skiing with a 5-minute internet video?

has to be golf surely - another "moment to begin, lifetime to master" like skiing......

either that or underwater ballroom dancing....

Though there's no longer any mention of the "coming soon" interactive map.....
