:lol: Tony, if Anna Kournikova came off a slope with a lid on and sat next to you to drink a beer, would you say "oi window licker, move along"? :lol: :lol:

I agree though. Each to his (or her) own. :thumbup:

I wondered that too.

Out of interest does anybody think that in the future at some point resorts will start tailoring different slopes specifically towards boarders or skiers? I don't mean in order to segregate or ban one from the other, more to cater for preference. For example, I can't imagine a mogulled slope is particularly easy or enjoyable on a board. At least on skis we have the opportunity to do short turns which suit the terrain better.

So, if skiing didn't exist and boarders could start from scratch and write a wish list of what they wanted from a slope, how different would it be from the pistes we know already? There must have been a time when someone said "I'm sick of looking for little jumps here and there, what I really want is a really long, steep thing I can do loads of jumps on one after the other" and the half pipe was born.

Am I talking complete nonsense (probably) or is there a tiny nugget of an idea in there somewhere?

Yeah underwear would be useful, I agree. Maybe trying to use ski boots as pants could be quite uncomfortable though :shock: Or perhaps they could fashion some nappy type things out of the liners. That would be cool :lol:

On a more sensible note, I'm not sure about the 'lowering the chances of a bag getting lost' theory. It could work the other way wot with all your eggs in one basket and all. Poo or bust ? :?

No you're not bad. And if your bag does get lost don't they have to sort you out with skis and boots until they can get it to you? Seems like win win to me. :D

9? Lucky lucky :D

36 left for us 8) I'm starting to enjoy the looking forward to it stage now. Honest. :mrgreen:

No way I don't look like day release I look like a pink and white storm trooper. :P :lol:

I can see they've gone up a bit. Fingers crossed they fetch a decent figure for you Rossy.

Just talking to my OH now. Not interested in off piste at the moment, and the on piste ones are too long for me, but might be about right for him. I remember finding a site the other day which worked out what length you should have - does anyone have a link or suggestion? Am gonna do some searching now, but if anyone could save me time would be appreciated.
