Whilst the natural reaction is to 'lean back' or get on the back of the boots skiing powder it is pretty inefficient IMO. It is still very important to drive the tips of your skis and remain pretty centred but I guess that is something a bit more complicated for another day.

If your skiing on the rest of the mountain is up to scratch off piste (read powder) is pretty easy, the best thing to do would be to have an instructor introduce it to you first time out.

Does your college do a ski trip, baillie?

Also, we had a 'just sit where you like' flight in Australia, held up so late to check in.. last to board.. seats that did not recline for 4 hours (at night :( .)

but why bother? I think I fly about a dozen times with them last year and I can't see the point getting involved in the scrum, it's not like there's not going to be a seat for you :lol: When it comes down to it, the "allocated seat" on other airlines is no better or worse than just strolling onto the plane and sitting down, it's not like you get to allocate it yourself or screen who you're sitting next to, in the latter case you've a better chance picking your own seat after the scrum's calmed down.

I like to be at the airport early anyway so may as well check in and if there's 4 of you it is good to sit together (unless you don't want to, that is). Didn't find there was a 'scrum' just those who were trying to board with the first lot when they weren't meant to be :lol:

Anyone have any experiences with Jet2?

You need to get yourself on to BA, 1X23kg (was let away with 29 or something :lol: ) and sports equipment up to 32 kg.

Air Canada is any 2 bags up to 23kg!!!

The more sidecut a ski has the more 'shaped' it will appear. A slalom ski would have a low turn radius-or lots of sidecut- (low teens I would imagine) whereas something that your canadian brothers create like the 4FRNT EHP (a freeride ski) has a turn radius of 41m!

The bus, what bus? Easyjet have priority boarding depending on when you check in... ABC etc

I flew easyjet once.. no complaints. Check in early so you get the pick of the seats.

Sounds sensible to me, you can always cut them down.
