Drag lifts (skiers, not boarders)
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 86 Replies
They are the pure evil of lifts (For boarders). Nothing worse then boarding down a run legs burning to get to the bottom and have to stand in an awkward position with excess pressure on your front foot for the next 5-10 mins. Don't get me wrong I will use them but try to avoid if I can.

Worst part is when your park lapping 9 times out of 10 it's a drag to get you back to the top of the park ?
Im all over this, cant wait to get home now :)
Help - what make of mittens?
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 9 Replies
Burton Mitts with an inner stretch glove. They have a zip on the back to allow for hand warmer inserts or for it to be used as a vent. I have had no problems with them.

Living in or near mountains.

I often think about this and think if I were single it would of happened years ago. But Mrs TowerBridge hates winter and the cold so it would never happen (Although I think I have persuaded her to give it a try at an indoor slope this summer).

As Nelly mentioned the language barrier would be a big problem for me so if I was to make the move I think it would be over the pond.
Music when Skiing?

I only really listen to music if I'm 'cruising', if I know I'm going to be travelling at speed or going in the park then it's a no go. You need to be able to hear what's going on. I tend to listen to stuff with a big base (Dance music), not really sure why but it just kinda suits my riding style I guess, don't normally listen to it.
