Thats longer by 7 years than i have been alive!! :shock:

Aaah, bless -)

I once skied with a guy who was in the Canadian ski team 35 years before I was born! A humbling experience, I was fit, in my 20's, skiing the season etc etc .......
He was in his 70's ......
and outskied me in both speed and control without any effort.
:oops:

But we must know whose socks they were?
Who sacrificed them for you Scapula?

Surely cheaper as you only needed one boot ??

I have just realised that this month marks the 30'th anniversary of my first skiing holiday :thumbup: , as far as the brain cell can recall I have not skied for 5 of the intervening seasons, for various reasons.
I joined this forum last year, after a snow forecast search, and check the forums daily (or more!!). This year I am lucky enough to be getting 2 hols to the white stuff and am happy to admit to being a skibore first class :mrgreen:
But why?
I am not sure what it is about skiing, something that probably most of us actually do for maybe 6 or 12 days a year, that is so addictive?
I adore the mountains; my spirits lift even in the aeroplane before landing and I can sit and stare at the summits for ages.
I love skiing in all its huge variety, pretty sure that physically it is the rhythm that I find particularly enjoyable .....
What about you?

Andy, the carpet was inside the boots!

I know that !!
But can you provide further advice please?
Synthetic, wool or wool blend for the best results?
:P
