Tony,
How do you know I'm not planning on ski-ing like a 'pro' over moguls and down the slalom? :D

I don't have a clue where they are either - I am just guessing wildly, but it is fun.

How about Bansko?

Thanks Rose,

I think having a marvellous skiing holiday will do. I think some people might be taking this getting fit for skiing just a little too seriously.

Tony, some of us have to be serious about it. There's no way I'm paying all that money to get out there and ski, only to find that my legs go to jelly on the first day, and I'm knackered :(.

What I have discovered, is that as I improve in my ski-ing I also need to be fitter. Just have a look at some of those videos of experts ski-ing moguls - jumping and twisting etc. They must be super fit.

Also, I reckon one is less likely to get injured if one is fit. Plus, I have to be slim enough to get my ski trousers on :D.

Snowbandit, I think Rose should be excused from exercises for a while :D, while she recovers from her nasty fall in the garden.

Rose,
Could we have a country as a clue please?

Well, I'm very glad you're okay, Tino, and still able to snowboard.

I had a moment a bit like that, once, when an idiot on a motorbike overtook me, crossing the double white lines, on a nasty bend, just as a fuel tanker came towards us. In that instant all I could think of was my older daughter on the train, whom I was on my way to meet, and of her standing at the station waiting for a mother who wasn't coming ...

Luckily for me, somehow the motorbike managed to fit in between me and the tanker, and we were all okay. Unluckily for him, however, he got stopped at the next traffic lights, in front of me, and I got his number plate and reported him for dangerous driving :twisted:.
