Apologies if there is a link up for this but I use a snowboard bag. Lots of room for 2 pairs of skis, poles, and almost all of the rest of my gear (except helmet).

There is nothing better than wearing a kilt to give you that liberated feeling.

All my ski live in the box room standing on their ends. Unfortunately I don't have room to lay them flat.

My best memory was an early one. I learned to ski on an artificial slope so that I could go on a school ski trip.

To be honest I was kind of regretting booking the trip as this carpet sliding was quite dull.

But the first day of the trip, skiing down this crunchy white stuff, the gracefulness and smoothness of a turn, the effortless speed, the almost endless thrills - then it all made sense! Then I knew that I had found the thing.

Some people's "thing" is playing music, others is painting. But this was (and is) mine.

I just ate my lunch. It was a salad sandwich. Quite tasty.

I demo'd the Punisher which is a twin tip version of the Mission and loved it.

It is an intermediate ski but I actually found it quite forgiving. I suppose it depends upon your style.

Looking forward for the TK Maxx sale.

I'd love a new jacket with lots of features. I'll have to raid the piggy bank.

You want them, so just go and buy them, before someone else does :lol:

I have to say, I was expecting them to be way more cumbersome than my old skis - Rossi 9S Oversize. But they can really turn.
