Happy New Year to all J2skiers. May your powder be untracked, and your days be Bluebird 8)

Came across this video today. Good humour and well worth watching... :D



My fave comment "You are twisting my melons with your snow geekness" :D

Anyhoo, about the Ballroom stuff. Skied a bit last winter with a young guy who is a Latin American Pro dancer. Give up any notions now that Ballroom dancing is sedate. He used these...

He was way fitter than me, and a much better skier too 8)

OmanSki I have skied the Scott Aztec Maya on the Swiss Ski Test in Zermatt. Just looked up the new Maya and the profile looks much the same. Based on what you say makes you smile, I would avoid the Maya, it will be chattery at speed and some way down the performance list against the Nordicas (for example)
Some women's skis are worth avoiding, but not all.Most of the ski makers now produce performance skis for women. Currently I use 2 pairs of women specific skis:
K2 She's Back and Movement Black Rose (wmns version of the Thunder) I challenge anyone to prove to me that the Black Rose is not a performance ski.

With a womens specific ski, you can sometimes get a forward mounting point, sometimes not.

It does not matter a hoot if you use a mens ski. The Salomon 24 hrs might be worth testing 1st :D

Nice one, good choice, we've both used Heli Pro's for years and they are pretty tough packs. :thumbup:

Trencher, I saw that video on Twitter and re-tweeted it ) There is a rather humble comment from the resort management on their Facebook page. Bit embarrassed they are!
