Ise so if you are working and you over hear anyone explaining any thechnique to other you will speak to them and tell they are not allowed to teach in there?
I saw one pair of sallopetes for £50, at the shop near me. I'm waiting for the new stuff, my OH wants chocolate brown sallopetes, hope they receive some.
I'm planning to "assault" TK MAXX as soon as the ski collection comes in... when is it arriving does anyone know?
get your money back and book with someone else.

Last Thursday I went to the gym with a friend that's studying to become a personal trainer, he was explaining me all the excercises and demostrating before i tried them myself, of the personal trainers came over saw us, and chat to us for a bit, then my friend asked him if he was teaching the exercises correctly, and if they would be suitable for me, The instructor answer all questions and then left.

We are talking about one of the most expensive gyms in London where they charge £500 for you to have a personal trainer for 3 months on top of a £140 monthly memebership.

On sunday me and my other half went to my local gym and after our induction we were doing some exercises and I was ghelping and explaining what i'd learn last thursday with my friend.

In neither of the situations i was aproached by any member of staff telling me that i'm not allowed to teach. That guy was just being an idiot.

Say for instance that i'm a great friend of pavelski and he tells me that if I travel to US we will drive to the mountains and he will teach me free of charge. Is this a crime? Is it a crime to know an instructor and get help from him, because you feel more confident with a familiar face?

Got really fed up up with the drunken idiots that we came across, the final straw was when one was sick on the coach to resort. Never again. So now I drive, share a chalet with my brother in law and actually get some change out of a couple of grand.


I might consider that in future, but I'm going for my first skiing trip, so I think I will be better off with a tour operator. Also i've had lots of great advice from the forum, namely Tony and AJ.

As for drunks, that's something that not even the tour operators can control.
I've done my bookinga nd now first choice associated with Cristal are offering the 2for1 lift passes, but even though i'm better off. One lift pass is 146 for the area in Alpe D'Huez, and since my booking prices increased 300, so i'm still 150 better off
