Probably my least fav mounting point now. Got any vid from ADH to share?

£20?
You'd think it would be free for members or something. No way i'd pay to go to a birthday party.

What surprises me here is that there is no mention of pain.
I would have thought that to damage your nail to the point it blackens and falls off would involve a certain level of pain.
With your boots done up, tight the way you do, do they hurt?

Above all, remember to sit in the middle if the piste:)

They teach that in Sauze

Saw a few bumps in Sauze, but they had helmets on so it was all good.

How many weeks have your friends been boarding Snapzz?

I think they have around 12 weeks each.....so they should be experts ?

Very good points Jambolini. I hope you and your daughter both become expert skiers and boarders because that has to be the ultimate and is something I am aiming for.

Well it shouldn't take you long.

Ice isn't easy to contend with on a snowboard as you only have one edge where you have two in skiing. Drag lifts and chair lifts are designed for skiers so they can cause issues. Schussing is easier on skis. Falling over when snowboarding is more painful and is the main reason why I bought a helmet (sorry to bring that up). As for steep terrain, it is easier to get down on a snowboard by letting the board slip but you aren't really doing it properly if you do that. Turning on steeps properly on a snowboard is probably the hardest skill to learn and requires a different type of turn altogether.

Beat me to it.
