I think it would be a bonus if your jacket has it but not worth paying extra for.

I have exprienced about -20 and that was painful.

The thought came to me, as I watched Chemmy, ~ this feels the same as when I watched Martin, Graham and Konrad, all those years ago, two to three seconds seems a long way at those speeds. Not too far away from the top 15 though.

Errm,my first skis were wooden Elan Jets, screw in edges. Boots were double lace up, about an inch higher than those that GB wore!

There are those who might say, I haven't moved on much!

I must confess to think of you Dave when i saw that gear. :D

Tonypants, i use these webcams and choose history.
You can then go back to last year and see what the conditions were like then.
Obviously this is no real indication of what this year will be like but interesting nevertheless.

Chemmy was heading for a really good time on the downhill until her mistake towards the bottom of the course. Bet she was very frustrated. Promising signs though!!

Yeah, i seriously thought she had wiped out for a sec.

Checked again and it does say pistes get busy. As southern France is on half term week the same as ours this year, maybe I should leave it until I can go outside school holidays.

One gripe is the quad chair that goes up from DMC to Signal is ridiculously slow. The button lift option is a below par alternative which I found very tedious and annoying.

Agreed, it annoyed me to see the drag lift overtaking me.
I'm sure before long they will upgrade it
