Iv got my flights sorted now decided to opp for EasyJet in the end.

As for my transfers, iv booked with Alpybus, anyone heard or used these before ? You dont actually pay them until you arrive in Verbier, never had that before..

I agree, the lack of snow did worry me, but lo and behold it arrived in the nick of time !

Now i can not wait to go away in Jan for 9 weeks ! :D

Salomon twenty twelve ski's + poles
Salomon ski bag

however, still need some salopettes

Bring on the season !

Austria - Mayrhofen - Harakiri.

Pretty much speaks for its self eh ? Anyway, for anyone who has skied the Harakiri plenty of times knows that a patch of ice usually develops on the skiers right just bellow of the knuckle where it stars to get step....However, i didnt as it was my first time. Went down there full steam ahead not knowing what i was in for when i slepped on the ice and got swept straight onto my a*se and started to fly down the 78% degree slope, but this wasnt the worst of it, little did i know that avalanche barries were also to my right ! As the snow sprayed in my face i got glimpes of the barries and lucky directed myself away from them but still flew off the run and into some deep snow where i rag-dolled and ended up having my buddy dig me out - who was in histarics by the way. We then spent the next 20-30 mins digging to find my skis and poles as they were skattered all over the place !

I laugh about it now, but think how lucky i was not to hit them barriers, ouch !

The Ski's i wake up to every morning at the end of my bed ! I would sleep with them if i was allowed :D !!

Had a powder report sent to my phone from J2ski for Verbier, i thought i was dreaming had to look twice couldnt believe it !

The Skier in this video - JP Aucliar, sent me stickers through a twitter competition !

That does seem like a fantastic idea..

However the only thing im worried about using that app is that because ill have to take my smartphone i will still recieve e-mails which will probably end up costing me a bomb, and the amount of times iv accidently pressed the internet button without knowing it could end up costing me a fortune ! (luckily i have unlimited internet in the UK)

I think its going to be cheaper to buy a sim out there and take a unlocked phone ??
