How did you get a piccy of Mrs W :thumbup:

:shock: :shock: Actually, if you view the source for it, you will discover that it is really Nelly :shock:

It means you will be lucky and possibly get a very good tan :twisted:

Don't forget to drink plenty of liquid if it does get warm, as you will perspire heavily in usual ski gear.

In respect of various comments made by the LM7, I should point out that the guilty company were called Skithe3v and NOT Ski3v, who are an entirely different company, are based in Courchevel and have nothing whatsoever to do with the offending party.

Eat plenty of beans or chilli, or better yet, chillied beans. Then take a box of matches with you, hopefully you can work out the rest :twisted:

You could look spectacular in dull light :shock:

There is only one thing I don't agree with, and that is Mr Wickams quote and as you may know I cannot do the quote thing in blue ...

Just a constant reminder that nobody has come to my aid. I still have to type in the same small black and white font – What does one have to do to join the inner sanctum around here !!!

Lizzie, you were very nearly there, but you simply failed to complete the quote tags. I will try to explain, but it gets awkward actually trying to explain on a forum as you have to stop the tags from actually working to demonstrate. I have found a small youtube video which shows how to use the "code" tags, and the principle is the same for all the other tags (quote, img, url, color, etc.). Hope it helps.



ALSO, when I just quoted your post, it defaulted to "Disable BB Code" which suggest that you possibly have it set to off by default. When you next make a post, check the options below the text box and make sure the bottom three choices do NOT have a tick in them.

:oops:

Sorry Tony, missed that comment.

I know this may sound a bit extreme, especially to your pocket, but some of the best improvements I have seen to children when skiing has been when they were with friends.

Is there a possibility that you could invite a friend of hers along on holiday? I know there are all sorts of issues with doing this, but it is possible she may develop quickly if learning and skiing with a friend who is also a beginner.

Just a thought.

As an example I recently I bough my first set of skis. I read some old threads as the most basic of all newbie questions is "what size skis should I use?" Now if I'd taken advice from a really old thread I'd have ended up with something 2m long. Even something 6 months to a year old might not have allowed for a small increase to allow for rockers.

Owen.

Nothing wrong with 2m plus skis, just ask Dave Mac :twisted:

In fact, I also suspect that if you ask him about rockers, he will tell you they are great to sit on in front of the fire after a good day blasting down the hill on his 2.4m skis :D

??? And my answer, btw, is an example of what I get out of J2Ski along with pretty much everything everyone else has stated.
