Magic Numbers all skiers should know!

Pavelski, I can see that you are online. I've been reviewing all your previous hints and do you know what? I haven't got a bleedin' clue!

To quote a well known saying - "I can't see the wood for the trees"

The daft thing is, I was at the dry slope tonight and on Wednesday evenings one of the instructors coaches some of us. Being a hot June evening it wasn't exactly busy out there so it was just me and him. I felt I improved my technique a lot in that hour. I would expect that also has something to do with this number but as I said, I just aint seein' it.

Hmm, though you might say that.

I suppose a bit more luggage never hurt anyone!

Now that I've become slightly obsessed with waxing my skis (for dryslope)I'm starting to think towards next winter (yes already) and how best to maintain a decent wax level during a weeks snow skiing without lugging about irons and vices etc.

Are the waxes that you 'cork' into the ski any good or what else would you recommend - or indeed would the skis even need waxing if only skiing for a week?

Put me down for having a pop shot on Thursday too. If only to make sure I get the answer!

Do you know what? I've been to the pub tonight on the harbour side, patio heaters on for a bit of warmth and a full moon. Life is good and I never thought about the elusive fifth number once!

Pavel you are a star though because without this thread, as big as the internet is, I don't think I would have found anything else as intriguing to read.

P.S. It's 1am and I've just been up in the shed sraping the wax from my skis ready for a blast at the dry slope tomorrow. That's Pavels fault too! :thumbup:
