I haven't been to Saalbach for 37 years. What's it like now?

Have fun :D

Thanks, it's cold, very cold.

It's great, I really like it. Although staying in Hinterglemm I have only been out in Saalbach so far but will rectify that this evening.

Back early from snowboarding so I can have a massage, read my book and chill out for an hour or two.

Glad You like it. It's our favorite resort. It's odd as I wouldn't have put it down as a good snowboarding resort but we all know you're a closet skier really )

Somebody seems to think so. See the comment on one of my Chemmy pics;

:shock:

That's never a bird. Steep drag though.

Wow! How good is that!

Bloomin fit dogs too.

Irish? You sure you're not getting confused with the Tour de France?

Nick Fellows has been doing a few of them lately (of of World Cup Skiing on Channel4 before it was axed). God he can get excited.

I know what you mean. Giant Slalom is always good to watch from a technical point of view. For Slalom I tend to watch just the second half of the second run.

I also find it really difficult to stay awake when watching slalom. I don't know if it's the Eurosport commentators voices or the exertions of the evening before.

We've actually chosen to go to Schladming this year to coincide with their World Cup week but then we are into Ski racing.

It better not do. I've just booked two weeks off work to watch the Olympics :shock:
