Personally I appreciate the time and effort that Pavel puts into preparing the quizzes, I learn loads about skiing when I do them that I would probably never come across in my usual reading. If some of the questions have more than one answer there is usually a small point in the question to indicate which is correct (although I often dont realise this until the answers are posted! :oops: so I think its unfair to criticise But then....Im very used to getting the questions wrong so its not so much of an issue for me.... :lol:

During the last quiz thats exactly what I was, and I may have spent more time researching for the ski quiz than working on my thesis!!! :lol: Unfortunately this time Im not able to disguise my ski research on the computer with anything like as good an excuse as writing up though!!!!

Oh no....my beginner status has run out!!!! :lol: I'm really struggling on this one actually, I've hardly been able to get any time to research properly as have been stuck in my lab all day and night!!

I like being able to read all about the things you find out when looking for the answers for one of these quizzes (even the wrong answers...which Im sure mine will be are always interesting facts to know!). I think Pavel is on a secret mission to educate all skiiers in the history and background of the sport, and this is his genius method of teaching!!! I think I may fail the class this time around though!! :cry:

I now understand Mikes sleepless nights comments!!!

Can someone please write me a note excusing me from work this week as I will be to busy desperately trying to find the answers to these questions?!! There isnt one question that I could answer straight off!!! Google here I come! :lol:

"N" is under the Wildschonau lift pass so you can get your "N" skiline on this site too!! :D

I wouldnt worry to much caron, the blood service's threshold is above what is considered the 'normal' values for Hb to avoid any problems for the donors, so its unlikely that your levels would be low enough for you to notice any problems on the mountain. If they didnt send you to your GP for a full blood count then Im sure your Hb levels will be within the normal range (just not high enough to donate!).

Caron....if Tony is offering to pay for your holiday in return for some cooking then you should call his bluff and go for it!!! :wink: :lol:

Well done on the gold amanda!!! The instructor calling you kamikazee wasnt andreas by any chance was it? That was one of his favourite comments to me when I was there!!! :lol: Sounds like you've had a total blast...hope the post-skiing blues arent too bad when you get back!!! )
