Some of us are recycled teenagers of course so that can be the junior old git/bat section. Oh dear, getting carried away now so off for my afternoon zzzzzzzzzz

Not for youngsters fit enough to pull or tear muscles, but for those who only gently strain them, or maybe are still skiing with arthritis, or following knee or hip replacements, or heart attacks or strokes etc.

How are you managing ?

Not for those who worry about Beige ski jackets on e-Bay or new style skis with go faster stripes, but for those whose skis 'are as good as they were twenty years ago so why buy new ones?

Who is still wearing/using the oldest skis/boots/salopettes/ski jacket/gloves/hat/goggles etc

Not for the heated chairlifts and windscreen brigade, but for those who were 'towed up the slopes on a rope by a pit pony on holiday'.

What was skiing like 'in the those early days ?'

My personal ambition is to get a free lift pass at 75. I have 14 years to go but do any members receive one or know of anybody receiving a freebie ?

Are you sure that's in Wales - I've never heard of it :?:

Is it in the North or the South?

Well... I reckon it should read
If you're not [going to Val Cenis] it's your loss.

And I am inclined to agree that..if you're not [going skiing anywhere this weekend] it's your loss.

Ok, it has warmed up and it's not dumping with snow lower down, but there's plenty of snow and the girls are really excited.

And I'm not going to Val Cenis either.

Was assesed today whilst teaching 10 Primary school kids for an hour which was an eye opener :shock: then teaching 9 high school teenagers for an hour. Ive logged alot of hours to get to this and am now out on the lash with the lads and watch England win the footy match. Well chuffed, I was petrified when I found out today i was being assesed.
