Hello all again. Its that time of year again. The Mrs put the Central Heating on the other day :cry: so its time to look for Ski holidays. :D

Booked a group ski in Selva again in March. Said I wouldnt go back till later but it was that good and we havnt even scratched the surface so we had to.

Ive booked time off work for the 14th Jan onwards so looking to book then. I havnt got a clue where yet. Ive always kept away from Austria, I dont know why so may try there. Any ideas or feelings on Austria?

Going on the 9th also but staying at the Hotel Relais des Alpes.

Role on!!! :D

Merry Xmac evrey1 and have a Happy skiing new Year

Can anyone help

Welcome to J2ski :D You could try turning uphill slightly towards the end of the turn. To scrub off excess speed where that is not an option, you could also skid the tails.

What Bandit says!

I think a new time trial bike will help me get through mine.

Someone mention mid life.. Im doing stupid things like a marathon, triathlon, Great North Swim and trying out Kite Surfing! Getting a bike or a convertable would be so much easier!

Just took a quick look at train prices for London

Morecambe to Euston on Saturday and return Sunday = £146:40 for the 2 of us. Accomadation for Sat night and beer money = :cry:



The price of it all would prob pay for 1 of us to go skiing :shock:
