I think that I get back into skiing straight away. Whether the technique is any good is a completely different thing altogether....
On a vaguely related matter, even though I am now capable of skiing most black runs (unless heavily mogulled) I'm unable to stop the heart fluttering when I pass the first black piste marker at the top of the run. I know I can do it and I know that some blacks are actually easier than reds. However, the colour of the run definitely 'does' something to my brain. |

My wife fell over within 20 seconds of strapping the skis on at the beginning of our last holiday. We were on the nursery slopes heading for the 1st lift of the day.
I didn't think you could catch an edge when travelling at 2mph :mrgreen: |

We watched Chalet Girl last night (having removed brain first). Actually thought it was good fun although not the sort of thing normally on our list.....
Bit of a contrast to our last couple of rental films - The Ides of March and Capote, both of which were excellent by the way. Probably wait for Skyfall to come out on dvd. Rarely go to the cinema due to close proximity to irritating human beings. :D |

I'm about to buy a new poc helmet. I'll pop a photo of it on here so that the bobblers can admire it's hard shelled beauty!

Don't worry about it. I didn't start skiing until I was 43!!
Buying first house = exciting times! I can just about think that far back. We begged and borrowed old sofas, tables and chairs, crockery etc. Mortgage was 2.5 x joint income and not a penny more... |

We enjoyed a couple of traditional French meals in Bar Jacques. Very friendly with complimentary aperitifs the 2nd time we rolled up. Not fancy by any means but that suits us!! Some reviews on trip advisor by the way.

Got my raffle tickets this morning with a signed photo from Dougie and a good luck message.
If you are reading this Dougie, I hope you raise enough cash for the season and good luck with the racing. |

La face doesn't need to be hosted. It's very obvious where you have to go!
