Things to remember with Livigno, fly to Innsbruck to avoid the 4 hour transfers from the Milan airports 8)

Or drive :P It only took us about an hour longer than driving to Val D'Isere, and it is a pretty drive through Switzerland and up past Klosters etc.

You could take it to that restaurant mentioned in the restaurant thread :shock:

Or we could just do this:

2013: 13-20 Jan
2014 : 8-15 March
2015 : 10-17 Jan
2016 : 12-19 March
2017 : 8-15 Jan

Right there, i have just sorted the dates for the next five years.

:shock: :cry: I don't believe it. That rules me out of 2017 :( My boiler is playing up and I just arranged a service visit from British Gas, it clashes right with those dates! :twisted:

Pavel, I was taught to do my boots up in stages. Start off by putting on the boot, then stand and flex yourself backwards and forwards, ideally leaning well forward against a wall while keeping the boots flat on the floor. Center the tongue, then do the buckles up very lightly and repeat the above process. This should ensure that your feet are fully to the back of the boot, so now when you tighten the clips to your liking, the foot has nowhere to go and should be ideally locked into the boot.

This works well for me, and usually once my boots are on in the morning, they stay on and locked down for the entire day without any issues to me. I do not need to undo my boots like most people do at lunch. Straight out, a couple of warm up stretches, clip and go :twisted: Then you have to wait at the bottom for your ski buddies while they fanny around doing their boots back up :cry:

Looks like you had a lot of fun.

Indeed. Bandit, you asked if there was a collective name for a group of woopy jumpers. How about skidron?

Any pics of them actually jumping?

The BBC site thinks it may get back to 1.30 by the Autumn

Answers on a postcard :roll:

Answer = It is a punishment. If he were executed, it would be over swiftly. By Jailing people for life, they are being punished and know there is no chance of parole.

Dramatic results by rotating the pic :roll:

:shock: :shock: Noo! In no way was I suggesting that Andy had rotated the original image, if you look at the picture you can see that the signs all say it is as steep as it looks. I simply made a "funny" adjustment as it is the funny picture thread.

:( Sorry Andy if this goes wrong.
