progress report from Obergurgl

I do but am not particularly fond of them. If we'd only skied when the sun was out we wouldn't have got out much.

View from our balcony:

Now you see it


now you don't


We had a wonderful holiday but my perfect afternoon didn't occur again and my right leg just didn't want to turn. After much deliberation and observation I've decided, for a large number of reasons, to give boarding a go in Arabba :shock:, possibly at Hemel beforehand. Call me mad but it's something I always knew I'd try and now is the right time.

Excellent decision Caron!! I really hope you enjoy it, will be good to have a few more boarders in Zermatt 2010 )

Hi Caron glad you had a good time. You wont regret the boarding its much easier on the knees.

I got to that bit and had this sudden wave of fear come over me, thinking you were going to knock it all on the head.

And then read you are going to try boarding.

Well, why not, the skiing clearly does not agree with you sadly. I really hope you take to the boarding though so you can really experience a decent week on the snow after all your experiences in recent times.

Give it a go , there is nothing wrong with boarding 8)

Caron, are you going to do a review for us all, along with some photos?
Please?

Sorry, didn't get home until sunday night (Monarch delay there and back) I'm on my 7th load of washing, christmas presents all over the house, all day at work yesterday and now a son with bronchitis :cry:
I won't be at work tomorrow for that reason so promise I'll upload them then.
