I am quite proud of myself, I just went a whole 4 hours without looking!

Looking lovely and cloudy in Val T
:D:D:D:D:D

Obviously did not dance hard enought to get past Yorkshire :twisted:

Think it will be rain now, so you are ok!!

Instead of 4 months in the video below, it is going to be this in 4 weeks :shock:

I came back from skiing and proudly said to my dad, "I got an award for the most improved skier"....he replied, "that does not mean much - you might have been really bad to start!!". I was....

Day 1/2: We were all taught how to snowplough, learnt to go in a snake down a run that had a slight slope on it....apart from me. I started at the top and managed to go straight down the hill wiping out 2 lines of the 'snake'

Later in week: all going down a slightly steeper slope. Instructor at the bottom waving his pole indicating for us to come (Is this an international thing they are taught?!), I started off. Felt confident. Great. Then the speed came, my legs stopped working. Managed to wipe out the rest of the class that were standing on the edge of the piste!

By the end of the week I could do a whole run without taking out some of or all of the class - hence most improved skier!!

there is also the story about a girl that got a bit friendly with the ski instructor during apres ski....but I swore I would never tell that story. What happens on tour, stays on tour....

:D

1,100 metres is not that low? It freezes here at home and that is probably only a couple hundred metres above sea level? :roll:

EDIT: 1,322 Ft to be exact....403metres
