Cheers for that ross, it was in our hotel they said no. But in the ski huts i was offered it when in ski school (with adults). I was only 16 at the time and was too bothered as it was now i'm legal though its all fun and games! :lol:

tino when in Bad Gastein we were told in our hotel that i was only allowed to drink wine and beer?? we're they twisting the truth?

I'm 18 and im right troublesome lad,,, pavel i think the only way to sort it out is for you take me off skiing! :roll: :lol:

I stayed in Val Di Fassa but skied over to Marmolada. Its a great trip to do, took all day there and back. Theres the sella ronda circuit which runs around the sella ronda. You can go clockwise or anti-clockwise. I didn't do this as was with a snowboarder and he's lazy! :lol: Would love to go back there great for beasting the miles out. At the end of you holiday you can go on the dolomites website and put your pass number in and it tells you the distance you covered and you study each day's progress! Lovely area with beautiful scenery!

Off to watch more downhill from Lake Louise now.

it was the womens GS from aspen. Was a bit dissapointing the downhill overall didn't get to see any of the big names able to really go for the top times! :(

Agree with pole planting in front of tips!

But as they say "when in rome do as the romans do" to a certain extent anyway! :mrgreen:

The worst queue hoping i've seen was in Bad Gastein when a group of little kids skied down and straight in by the electronic pass readers things! Needless to say as almost everyone in the queue was english masses of abuse was hurled and they ended up at the back! :lol:

In terms of american queues i first learnt in winter park and didn't que all week everyone was telling us to go through! They had specific ski school queues next to the main queue!
