Thats not entirely accurate Tony, I do lean a little to get round corners, only a little mind; no need to go nuts.

:lol:

No you're right. I definitely saw you stop a couple of times, sit down, have a smoke, and then turn your board in the direction of the slope around the bend and head off again in the general direction of the nearest bar. On or off piste, whichever was the shortest route.
Brilliant to watch.

M'Lud I rest my case about the characteristics of Hillfrogs :-P

:roll: Sitting down (at the edge) to have a smoke has several benefits:

1. It allows skiers to catch up
2. I can spend 5 minutes taking in the scenary
3. I can take some nice action shots of others
4. I can rest my upper legs to allow another high speed straight line assault on the hill )

Anyhoo, my flickr account has reached capacity, so I have to figure out another way of getting some photos up on here. Yesterday was incredible, this is truely the most beautiful place I have been.

Ah yes, but you are somewhat of a better skier than I have been on the mountain with before!!

Tino you are making me hugely jealous :mrgreen:

This coming from a person who has seen those views only a few weeks ago and has just spent a week in the Bolivian jungle and pampas!! I think I will definitely calling back into that area before I head to New Zealand for their snow!

Keep reporting......
