Wanderer,
I thought that was pretty good :D Much better than my first attempt at slalom. Ally |

Tropicana,
I had a look on the Ski Club of Great Britain website, for Argentiere, and their leader says, for 30th March, that there was 25cm of snow overnight and ski-ing high up was good. For Megeve, it said only 37/90 lifts are still operating, and there are lots of brown patches with ski-ing best in the morning. Ally |

Tropicana,
I hope you find some decent snow somewhere, and have a good time :D Ally |

Dave, I meant maybe Alistair could ask them if they have any suitable bindings in their skip (or wherever they put their out of date stuff). Ally |

11 Kg! Really :shock: No wonder my hand was aching carrying my skis up the gondola steps - note to self - must devise fitness exercise for hand strength for next year :lol: That makes a total weight for skis and boots of 16 Kg which is 35lbs, or 2 1/2 stone. Wow. No wonder there's a section in my 'get fit to ski' book on weight lifting. Ally |

It's quite true what Old Andy said about the crevasses on the glacier draglift. I found myself looking down through a bottomless crack and I was very glad I had skis on :shock:

Daved,
That's a good point about the weight. I know my ski boots weigh 5 Kg, although I don't know about the skis but they feel pretty heavy to me, especially when I have to carry them upright, like up the gondola steps. I can carry skis over my shoulder like a sack of corn for miles no problem, but vertically I find much harder. Ally |
