Who wrote it's gonna get warmer in the alps this weekend? I woke up at 7.30am, looked at the TV, -6C up top, so base layer, longsleeved synthetic top, t-shirt and a soft shell**. No bugger mentioned the 75km/h wind that got up early afternoon. Lovely lower down however.


** I don't get the hat out till -10C normally, and gloves are optional at -6C :wink:

Hmmm, that does seem a bit excesive. Duty free Vodka may help.

Deckchairs across the loading point with Union Jacks would do the job.

Somebody suggested Saalbach, if you want cruisy then it really is the place, linked with Hinterglemm and Leogang it has a huge area and the best lift system I have ever used. The accomodation is high quality, it's lively enough and they have snowmaking for more than 90% of resort.

As the future Mrs 11 has a 11 month contract in Finland I think I am gonna give it a blast for a long weekend. I quite fancy Levi to see what it's like. If nothing else I bet they know how to have a bevvy or twelve. It opens next weekend.

Snowboarded in La Plagne over New Year (my first time on the piste) and New Years Eve itself was the dullest I have ever had.

My skis ARE magic.
Because when I am on them, I am taken to a magical place a million miles from home, and am honoured enough to be skiing on snow in the mountains.
I think we are all blessed with this magic Dave speaks of.

You old softy you :lol:

I think he only wrote that cos Mrs. H read his first post and afterwards he felt he must add something based in reality to the conversation given the grilling he got )

Besides this, I can't contribute as I dont ski :( But if the same thought could be applied to my snowboard, I would wish it could detect stress, anxiety and a troubled mind; then simply dissapear me from the situation to something a snow based challenge just a tad above my experience/ability, so I can do nothing but concentrate on what is in front of me. Basically the reason I fell in love in the first place.
