My daughter has Dare 2 B and she seems quite happy with it.

Well,
They did say they were all going out for a drink when they arrived, so I expect they did, and they've all collapsed into bed now. Maybe they'll let us know tomorrow how many of them got there okay, and what the conditions are like. Ally |

I think maybe you need to go to our 'getting fit for ski-ing' thread and start doing some leg squats etc. :lol: I'm very glad you didn't hurt yourself, and particularly glad you kept away from the road. I went out of control down a hill in Hampstead on a sledge when I was only 5 and landed up in the road and got a big hole in my side. I still have the scar now. But I was very lucky I wasn't run over. Ally |

KevinC, I'm really, really sorry you've missed your holiday. I hope you get another one later on. The British weather forecast is pretty bad for the next week or so. I'm getting pretty worried about it, especially as they say there might be blizzards. And people here have been panic food buying in case we get totally snowed in. Living in the country is no joke when you get snowed in. Ally |

KevinC, Out of curiosity, which flight were you supposed to be on, and from where? And have they guaranteed you a seat on a replacement flight tomorrow? Was the sledging a joke? Surely you're still going out there? Ally |

Hmmmm .... I haven't actually tried wearing more than one pair of tube socks in my rental boots. Oh well, it will be something to try out on our next ski holiday. My daughter will still be wearing tube socks (because Father Christmas didn't buy her any new ones) and I will tell her that my friend Pablo, who is a qualified ski instructor, assures me that there will be enough room in her hired boots for 5 pairs of tube socks :lol: I will let you know what happens ...

Everyone goes on about this, but I have worn tube socks since I re-started ski-ing 7 years ago, without any sort of discomfort. However, Father Christmas has very kindly brought me some very expensive heeled merino wool ski socks and I am going to see if I can notice the difference when I'm ski-ing. Ally |

Well,
I'm quite sure the skis and boots I hired were very good quality - but then I paid quite a bit to hire them, from a very good hire shop in one of the top resorts. I can tell you where I did find some really rubbishy boots though, and that was in Swansea at Christmas, where we hired some ice skates for the council's temporary rink. The quality was incredibly bad - they looked like something out of a Christmas cracker and they really hurt your feet, but we only paid £5 for 50 minutes and they did actually skate okay, and we had a lot of fun :D.
