Well fair point, think we had a big debate on this last year. Is it fair for someone who is 18 st & takes 20kg on board to pay no excess but someone who is 12 st & takes 23kg on board is charged for excess baggage, er No. Is it fair to pay 10 Euro's per extra Kg but only 30 Euro's for a ski bag weighing 30kg, Er No. Then again is it fair to pay 300 Euro's in tax for a return flight to the US, again No. This is indeed a awful system & your point are truly valid, my point was there was no need for the comment relating to a post requesting help to complete a Uni project.

No, heart attack is carrying 2 ski bags & 2 suitcases through Chambery airport with wife & kids. Just out of interest what area of ski carriage do you consider needs addressing?

A guy asks a simple request for a Uni project, which takes all of 1 minute to complete & he gets a volley about ski carriage. I give up with today's society. Best of luck with it Zach.

Hi Esrg. A group of us are off to Chamonix on Monday, how are the slopes holding up?

Maybe worth hiring a car, depending on time you are there. You are going to Switzerland, it wouldn't be right if it wasn't a fortune.

Bandit, they went through the machine for a full service last month, prior to my week away. Going to get them waxed as slopes were not ideal last time, fairly icy.

Thanks guys, will book in for a wax, think the edges will be fine, if not i will be using the 'I lost an edge' excuse when i stack it.

Hi All
Trusting that there are many of you that have your own equipment I am asking the question as to how often should you get your skis either waxed or serviced. From a personal point of interest my skis were skied on for 2 weeks last year (from new), therefore I had a full service inc waxing prior to my first trip this year. I have now skied a full week, in fairly firm conditions. I am off again next week & was thinking do they need any treatment, such as a waxing. Many thanks in advance.
