Ah yes, THAT day!!

I had travelled the day before, but was pretty tired when TonyH took the photo to be honest - I did actually nod off for a couple of minutes!

We had done so much skiing for my first day (no gentle warm-up allowed)in bad conditions on the Penken. So Tony and I went over to the Ahorn for a few runs on the Ebenwald in better weather and after this chairlift ride we decided to ski the Abfahrt down to the village.

NEVER HAVE I WANTED A SKI RUN TO END AS MUCH AS I DID THAT ONE. It was sheer torture on the legs.

The first beer in Happy End more than made up for it, especially as I got to meet Ellistine and his mad missus.

Happy days...

I think that a flex index of 80 should be ok for you, if you can get the boots correctly fitted.

Do you have anywhere locally where you can get them adjusted, or have footbeds or some padding inserted?

Its worth the time to be honest.

There are also loads of threads on here about boot fitting and good/bad experiences, which may put your mind at rest and give you some ideas.

Hope you can get it sorted.

You can certainly camp at Mayrhofen, although I'm not so sure as to the frequency of any free transport up the valley to Tux.

I think you can camp at the base, but you'd better check on-line to be certain.

Have you ski-d on the glacier before??

Shut up, Jeremy.

I find it amusing how many people are keen to jump in and pass comment when they either dont even know me, or were not with me in Verbier, when I had my best weeks skiing ever.

Thanks anyway.

Its a public forum Tony and whilst I wasn't with you in Verbier, I know you and your skiing better than most.

Play nicely old chap and don't be so sensitive. )

The temptation to post in this thread is starting to overwhelm me...

Snowboarding in styleeee, no worries about bags and weight allowance either, I'm a happy boy.

Where should I go?

Didn't realise you were a boarder - my offer therefore retracted. )


Enjoy Canada, wherever you pitch up.

Tony was referring to my chin, not legs AJ, just in case you were thinking
along some unsavoury and unmentionable line. )
