My calves feel like they will never work again. I could hardly walk this morning.
I read this and think, new skis, new bindings, new RAMP ANGLE )
Do you feel you are skiing on tiptoe?
Is there any shame in.....

Hippos have no problem keeping people off the tails of their skis!!!
No! What do you think this is? A Holiday?
Seriously the only thing I'd say about not going out is check the weather forecast, you don't want to miss a nice sunny day only to then have a storm hit the next day.
No, bandit....they feel fine. Im guessing that i am just totally unfit. In fact i know i am.
The most exercise i have had in recent months is walking back and forth to the wine rack.
Weather looks good for tomorrow. Snow returns from thurs.
Im going to get the first lift up to Pic Blanc in the morn and see how the Sarenne looks. I've heard its not really a black apart from the first bit.
I've never done a black before..... eek

No shame, no waste. Your holiday is what you want it to be. However...

Sadly they are already scratched up and I've been soooo tempted to punch the twats that find it soooo acceptable to ski all over my tails in lift queues.

I'm bloody knackered after the last two days skiing. My calves feel like they will never work again. I could hardly walk this morning. I managed about an hour today and came back to the hotel, got changed and now spending the pm in the bar.
Do you think this is the thing to do or should I ski through the pain barrier??
We only have 6 days and I feel I am wasting one :-(

Enjoy the Sarenne - remember it flattens out into a path after the first quarter or so - very important to keep a bit of pace, otherwise you'll grind to a halt (like all the snowboarders do!)
