How come I am last on the list of skiers for Sunday 2nd Feb???
I am sure I should be higher up the list!!
:(

I don't know how that happened Andy - sorry :oops: :(
I will move you to the 1st February :)

No. no. no - I am going skiing on 2nd Feb. But leaving home on 1st Feb.
:D
It is simply that I don't think I should be at the bottom of the 2nd Feb list but nearer the top of the 2nd Feb list.
These things are important!

Hi Icy.....
If Dave is right and you want to extend your skiing by learning new things then have a lesson or three.
If Cat is right and it is just about some people to ski with, company, shared experience, shared "where are we going" etc then there are a couple of things to try.

But firstly.....
Do you enjoy skiing alone? I do. I love skiing with friends and casual acquaintances (and have hugely enjoyed hosting in the past)and I love skiing alone. Even on the J2Ski trip last year I skied on my own some of the time and loved it.

Firstly - what is your accommodation? Are you likely to find some like minded skiers in your accommodation? I have had success with this in Chalet Hotels in the past.
Two - go out with the Crystal tour and suss out the rest. If there are people who are of your sort of skier level then have a chat - see if you could bare skiing with them for the morning. Ask! As you have skied the area recently you may be quite popular with some others who are new to the area.

I am a single skier quite often as MrsOA doesn't ski and manage to hook up with others when I feel like it with a little planning, thought and am quite happy to ask if people would mind if I joined them.

Anyway - I'm sure you will have a great time.

I have never been asked what level of insurance I have during a lesson when being taken off the marked piste ( even if it's only to the side which was pointed out is considered off piste).

Very pertinent point - I wonder what the situation is legally?
Does ESF have any extra cover for this type of thing I wonder? Other ski schools??

Even if one knows this type of stuff - decorum at least would suggest that one does not publicise that knowledge!!

Well Flog's one lift has got to be better than those old slow lifts of SC …... :(

Not seen the upgrades for this season then Ian?
At least they don't use horses for lift power as the Italians do!

He can't stump up the dosh until ebay comes good Ian.......
Plus I think he is a little scared about sharing a double bed with The Lout!
:oops:

Shouldn't that read the lift is open Ian?
