You forget to add "thus far" to the end of that post, Ise 8)


no I didn't, have is the past tense so that would be redundant which means unnecessary like your hostile comments.

im back from my holiday. i had a fantastic time. the village and the resort are briliant.managed to reach 2140m and did blue and red runs. the hotel was fabulus. the only downside of the trip was some locals who did not speak a word english. this is very irritating especially if you consider that it is an area full of turist. definitly going back next year


That must be annoying, how was their punctuation and spelling?
A little late snow

Some late snow for my birthday, a few cm of fresh but fairly saturated snow so fairly nice in place and typical for spring:

You might not be so envious if you'd have the shouting match I've just had with the Germans behind us, I've removed their +*ç+"*çing children from our garden yet again and this is two days after one of the little +"*+*çers damaged Mrs Ise's car. It's time for the German experiment with no parental control to end really :roll:

Keep all my ski photos on my new phone with large screen to keep me going through the long sunny days of summer :(


good idea, although I'm not holding my breath for a phone with enough memory to hold the 15,000 photo's I've got :D

I'd also rather look at insane pics of heli-skiing in the Himalayas than a beginner on a green slope scared sh*tless! Look at Top Gear (off subject i know) 90% of the cars they feature and test are way beyond most people's budgets but the show is so popular!

A lower-end skiing magazine is definitely a big gap in the market, just not sure how many people would buy a magazine of that sort to make it worthwhile.


That's probably true, it's quite probably the dull lack of aspiration that makes ski magazine so dire and explains the near total lack of literature. There's a huge demand for help and advice on skiing but that really has moved to the internet which is better, real advice is better than a second rate journalist on a freebie, you see better stuff here on J2SKI than most magazines have ever managed.

earlier this evening, new snow and later sunsets give some interesting light out of the kitchen window up to the Besso


Where to go next?

I have always used the babelfish, when I have translated stuff from French to english, It is not perfect but it is readable.


I've heard that said before. What perplexes me is if the person who says that speaks the other language well enough to judge how readable it is then why do they need to use Bablefish to start with? :lol:
