Serious? !

You think a letter will actually make A difference? Have you written one? Maybe we should have a j2ski letter :roll:

OK. There has always been banter between skiers and boarders about which is the most sensible - GOATS v DOS (as my mate calls us D***s on sticks).

But, joking apart - is boarding a dying breed?

The reason I ask this? I went to see a guy last week to have my boots re-fitted (as recommended on this forum - Graham at Rivington Alpine). I asked him why he does not sell any boarding gear. He said it is not selling these days.

We had a laugh.

He said, seriously that is the case. He was saying many boarders these days tend to be over the age of 35 - those that started when it was "cool". IT is no longer that "cool" so they are not buying the gear. He can sell so much more ski gear. The shop was a very nice and tempting shop. He also does a bloody good job at fixing boots!

My girlfriend is swapping from boarding to skiing this season (she saw sense at last - the thumb screws might have helped). Is this going to be a trend?

Thoughts?

Ally - please can you do the english population a favour. Please do not use a french dictionary to translate a letter into French. It will have less attention paid to it than if you had written it in English.

I am sorry if this dashes your hopes of bringing the French judicial process into line - but I genuinely dont think your letter will have the slightest piece of affect on any outcome. I imagine Le Ski have put a few Euros into paying good lawyers to write letters?

Sorry if that dashes your hopes

Take up Sudoko or take some Nytol and have a kip on the train ;)
