Both look absolutely fantastic. Pending further reports I might try out Glenshee sometime this week, don't know if I could pass up another day at Nevis :D

Oh aye, Glencoe is opening on the 28th (earliest since 1996) so will try and get up there for opening day :)

Pabs and anyone else who is interested, I am thinking of heading to Oban for New Year to see the folks if the snow is still good. Glencoe would be a good shout for a day or two on the white stuff. Possibly the 2nd and 3rd???

Here we go, cheap as chips....

Merry Christmas from a rather warm Grindelwald.

:D

One of my favorite feelings:

Sitting on the ICE train with a beer at the German station in Basel knowing that when it next moves I am seconds away from Switzerland proper!!

Happy Christmas folks, I'll be in Grindelwald in ein paar stunden :)

May Santa fill your stockings, and keep off the sherry!!

:)

I third the motion, although I may wear my rather fetching soft-shell at every opportunity I never wear my jacket when not snowboarding.

:shock: If he throws in discounted rates to stay there in the future I will have to apply some serious thought to this!! ;)

Just got back from a week down there and it's fantastic!! It's a fantastic idea on how to get the job done, qudos to the man, I'm sure he'll have no shortage of takers!

Doesn't sound so bad, better than being stuck at 114m for what looks to be a late but brutal winter. Not sure I can make snow however. Anyway this is the Austria section. ;)

I am a dab hand at painting and decorating, was forced into child slavery at 8 years old :)

Where? For how long? Doing what?

I am only a snowboarder so know nothing of the pain of ski boots :oops:

But, I usually get pain in my soft boots, I purposely bought them a size too small. However this season I have realised with increased fitness the pain has subsided. Thats not to say it does not occur, certainly after a heavy night and too much good food I get pain. I am not an advocate of fitness regiemes by any means but I think it makes a huge difference in terms of muscle pain/weakness, tiredness and ability. I have been going for it since late October and last week put in an 80km day on a snowboard with no pain, no aches and no tiredness!!

General strength and fitness in the affected area can not be under-estimated.

I am by no means implying your issue is not something more fundemental, but I have been shocked by what I can achieve by increasing my fitness.
