Likewise, I have another pair of Elan skis also 195cm which must be twenty years old now, tried to ski on them again about two years ago & found it almost impossible using the same skiing technique that i use today. Definitely wouldn't go back :!:

My skis are five years old & by today's standards with the ever changing technology would be classed as old, so who has the oldest pair of skis still in use on the forum :?:

Get mine through bank now, supposed to be a perk but you pay for the 'advantage' of having that account.

Should add that I had to repatriated myself back to the UK about five years ago after falling ill in Val di'sere. Cost an absolute fortune & had nothing but hassle with my insurers. The said insurer should stick to selling groceries in my oppion. :thumbdown:

Help...I just don'tknow what to do!!!

A world class employer would accommodate your situation & reschedule the interview for you, if they wont you have to question what type of employer they are going to be.

So many good bars about in so many good ski stations however one bar stands out above all others.
Gunters bar in Niederau is an absolute mad house or should I say shack, Gunter is a local ski instructor who is a great character & makes everynight memorable. If visiting Niederau definitely worth a look, never know might even get yourself on the wall of fame, great time to be had in there. Don't be put off by the appearance from the outside. :thumbup:

I normally use Blachfelder, but then, I don't pay the full price.
