Lost....

Of course, there is also falling over in knee deep snow, put your arm to stand up and it goes up to the shoulder....another camera moment!!

It finally did :)

Great pic. Is it real or photoshopped ;)

Are those guidelines referring to a drink tube or something else ;)

My tube is not insulated, but it is inside the rucksack and just pops the tip out. Still have to drain though.

I have supportive custom beds. Is a ski hire shop likely to do that in resort? Are they really going to understand me when I say, "i catch edges and have fallen arches, can you check the alignment on my skis please"

The guys tend to be French and speak minimal english :(

I am bored tonight, so I thought I would get some chats going (the last 2 at my own expense!)

Do you guys/gals take rucksacks on the piste with you? What do you have in them? My starter for 10:

Yes I do, contents:

1. Fleece to go under coat if gets chilly
2. Snickers - that turns to an ice cube within an hour. Perfect for dipping into hot drinks
3. Water - It is one of those with a platypus in it so I can drink through a pipe. Just remember to drain otherwise it freezes again!
4. Camera, ready at the top for comedy moments
5. Penknife - in case I need to kill and eat a moose for tea
6. Torch and whistle - as above or if I need to find my way back or need sos
7. Goggles/Sunnies
8. Insurance details
9. Photocopy of passport (dont know why!!)
10. Phone
11. Money
12. Boiled sweets

Thats about it. Is not a big un.

Do you take it off on chair lifts?

Next please :D
