Isnt the lenght of ski between the chin and nose? (or have i just made that up)


This season the shortest ski I have been on is a 175 twin tip (in fairness I have been on a 174 non-twin with a completely flat tail). The longest a 189 semi-twin. Wickham, you want the 202 no the 192 8)

6' and sitting at 69 kilos this morning.


I think you need to eat some more of those deep fried mars bars my son...... :wink:

Wickers, Pabs is probably still growing. If we ask again in 12 months, he'll have put on 3 stone and 6 inches on his waist )

I am 6 kilos up over this time about 6 months ago, had to get fit for ski season. Getting fit for me involves putting on weight :wink:

I definitely think you need to eat less :twisted: Have you ever had a deep fried mars bar? They are horrific.

Not tried the deep fried Mars Bar......I have other weaknesses :twisted:

The only way I will top 75 kilos is if I start doing nothing but eating and weights!

A local chip shop here will deep fry anything off the sweetie display. Serious.

Any thing that encourages people into the sport is a good thing....even snowblades, I have a pair I used them the first year that I brought them and have never used them since mainly
because I enjoy my skis more, you must stop frowning bandit, think of the wrinkles :wink:
