Did you really practise on that weird looking thing? How clever of you :D I found it most odd.

I can't remember now, but didn't it have something like bits of wood fixed to the rope? And you had to grab one of the bits of wood? The only time we had to use it was going back to the hotel, if we didn't use the bus, although we did have a go sledging down that slope once.

We were staying in the Crystal, across the road - were you in the same hotel, or one of the other ones? In the morning, in order to get to my younger daughter's lessons, we used to go up that gondola and all the way down the very long blue run to the meeting point. We were one of the first ones up there in the morning, and at the top it was like ski-ing corrugated concrete, because of the marks made by the snow-ploughs during the night.

There were no bits of wood on it in 2006 you just grabbed it. There are a few in Val D'Isere too.

We're in the chalet right next to the rope. We couldn't take advantage of the location last time because we had to walk/bus it to our beginner lessons. This time it's a different matter - ski in and out literally to the door :mrgreen:

I haven't done my hula hooping yet today, better get on... I've got a pair of jeans to squeeze into tonight :D

I did take G and C post op but stopped after a few months. I have no idea if it made a difference :wink:. I thought it was very expensive. I do still take cod liver oil though.

Rose, I was taking Ibuprofen 4 times a day when skiing but I bought some Voltarol for this trip after hearing on here that you can buy it over the counter now. Is it right that you can't take it for more than three days in a row though?

Eggman, I'd interested to hear how you get on with those bandages, when are you off? I put an icepack on my knees straight off the mountain but then a hot water bottle in the evening.

my boys live and breathe in theirs when they're out and about here. They wear them skiing too and neither of them have ever complained.

watcha :thumbup:

is this the first choice school?
total justification :thumbup:

I think I may just slope off, no pun intended :lol:

I think I know what you mean by the rope tows. There was one in front of our hotel in Obergurgl, which you needed to use to get back to the hotel if you wanted to ski back. It was a very curious old-fashioned looking thing, and quite hard to use.

Sorry Ally but, in all seriousness, are you joking?
I practised every evening on that rope on my first ski trip after four hours of lessons every day for a week.
Maybe that's why your arms hurt :shock:

Wow. Reading back through this thread makes it seem like a lifetime ago.

I don't know how old you are but, if it's any consolation, a lot of my mates are complaining about their knees now (around the age of 40). It seems to be a given that your knees feel age, especially, in the experience of my friends, if you do high impact exercise.

If you're really concerned I'd invest in a physio session even if it's just to put your mind at ease.

Good luck :thumbup:
