Things that remind me of skiing

The smell of my chainsaw...
In preperation for the first downhill of the season in lakelouise, im in the woods cutting logs for our burner.
phones off. fire lit. lots of snacks and settle down for a night of skiing.
The girlfriend goes mad at me because as each of the skiers go past a paticular point on the course i say "thats where i almost killed myself!"

Thats when my season starts, lots of memories at lakelouise :D

Every day, my screensaver:

Nice jacket you are wearing there ;)

Co-op or Sainsburys?

Ha,,,,,,,,things that remind me of skiing!
Do you have a minute or two ?

Like Dave Mac I have a great great view of skiing which welcomes me every morning as I touch "base" with fellow skiers all over the world.

Every morning where ever I am I walk , several kilometers before sun rises! There is a time when the morning air is "nippy", sharp and cold. Thoughts come to mind which you all do not want to know! Freedom, wind, soaring.

Some women think that exotic perfumes will "attract" all men! Me,,it is that smell of melting wax. Instantaneously my brain triggers neurons firing like a "fireworks display" ! Feelings, thoughts, images all flood my imagination.

Finally when I can not stand it anymore, I put on my boots, my ski jacket, ski gloves and slowly walk to my butcher. He knows what will happen since I have been doing this for years. He just looks at me,,,,,opens the giant freezer and lets me in for 15 minutes of quiet cold "spiritual" contemplation of events past and events to happen!

I exit ready to wait another week or so !

Ah! So that's where you disappear off to in the summer... I figured that you probably hibernate Pav! :lol:

Hi ,

Letting the dog out on a chilly winters evening/night and smelling the log and coals fires people are having in the area on the crisp night air......when I close my eyes and breathe that in I can be transported to Bourg-St-Maurice in an instant.......

.....ahh!.....woodsmoke! :D


...Oh and diesel fumes and a raging sore throat, which reminds me of a holiday in Chamonix , but thats another story.
