Shut up Stewart.

I hope you have got plenty of bum padding, because you are going to be doing a lot of falling over.

I'm not sure he'll actually make the slopes Tony, for fear of total embarrassment.

I have an unused pair of red racing pants. Have never used them, they are revealingly tight. Not quite sure why I bought them, I think in the shop I had images of Klammer, Podborski, Miller, and other big-thighed fasties in my minds eye.

If you get to wear these, I feel sure you will qualify for the Hahnemkam.

PLEEEEEAAAASE buy them Tony! Go on, you know you want them!!

I was once on the slopes at about a quarter past five, if thats any help to you.

47 Degrees in London stock red salopettes in several styles - seen 'em with my own eyes mate. They have a website and about 4 stores.

My ski boots are about 4 years old now and were suffering from the usual packed out liner problem with the boots starting to feel a bit loose. Buying a new pair was starting to appear on my 'new kit' radar but Skidaddle suggested putting some cheap flat insoles under the footbeds in my boots. Yesterday I pushed the boat out and bought 2 pairs of insoles (£3 each) and put both pairs under the footbed. Tried them last night on the dryslope and it was bliss! Nice and snug fitting again with a heck of a more direct feel on the skis.

I reckon there's another season in the old dogs yet!

You may thank me in hard currency Keith.

I've been to Courmayeur and the Old Man has been to both.

C ya later for a chat!

The day I ski'd with Ellistine (who is plenty good enough to have done the Harikiri) the conditions were not condusive to doing such a difficult run - flat light, lots of loose snow which was hard to see before you hit it etc. etc.

We did the right thing by not attempting it.

Just to clarify that point , the conditions on the shady side of the Penken (Horberg) have not been as good as that since I first went to Mayrhofen 30 years ago (during my visits of course!.) There are usually some icy patches, but last friday was absolutely perfect, with lovely fresh snow that had been worked a little and was "quiet" to ski on.

Roll on next time....
