What do you do on your first day?

I have managed it over the last year to 18 mths, as Tony says never had a problem with weight till I sat on my backside for a living,
I have had to make the effort due to dodgy knees and alround ski fitness, I have found myself packing up at three in the afternoon, where before I was a first last lift monkey ….. So I am hoping this season I shall be a lot fitter, well thats the plan anyway, 8)
I now think lift passes are extremly over priced, the price of lift passes for a family of three are now close to being the same price of an apartment in resort ……… they are pricing them selfs out of the market while we will still go a couple of times per year, encouranging new familys on a winter holiday will continue to decline as new business :(

I did a nice one on a royal visit to Banff when I called the Duke of Cambridge (Prince William) the Duke of Windsor (aka abdicating King Edward 8th). I better stress by the way that that's a pic on file of Alpe d'Huez not a recent snap this week, though it is pretty snowy... but probably not that sunny.


Thats an old pic unless those two have been standing in the same place as last year …. -)
