Amazing that he raced in a kilt! Pavel, take note!
And here's his FIS Biography ...

He also has a younger brother. Just thought I'd mention that in passing.

Since you mentioned bodies and wanting bodies, and of course those young ladies I have to ask you a very personal question!

Please feel free if you do not wish to answer it!
I should say that it also is a way to ask a Scot some "advice"!

Have you ever worn that famous Scottish "kilt" while skiing! Why I ask is that my wife is part Scot and some years ago she bought me the full attire!

I do not know why,,but I have this desire to wear it one day while Spring skiing! I mean the full full dress up!!!

My skiing life will then be complete!

PS You have inspired me to have another Pavel Contest in which the most "unusual ski outfit will win a pair of North face pants! (coming in July)


I have skied in my kilt, sporran, argyle jacket,shirt and dickie bow. Unfortunately, I lost my sgian dubh and it is probably somewhere in a marmot hole in La Plagne.

One word of advice - if you fall make sure to pull your kilt down quickly.

Amusing moment at Munich airport last winter. Scotsman going through security, had already divested himself of the Prince Charlie jacket, brogues, and sporran. Then he was asked to remove the belt. He started to do this, but thought to warn the security official of the full consequences. Remove the belt, and a yard and a half of Tartan would come away with it, revealing all that skiers like to keep warm!

There was a hasty security consultation, before the Scot was waved through. :wink:

Thanks Dave. The quads of steel are coming along very nicely! I'm cycling 5 - 10 miles every other day and I've got an induction at the gym on tuesday so I can do the exercises I do in the physio's gym plus some upper body stuff. The pounds I gained whilst immobile are starting to shift too so I'm happy. ROLL ON WINTER :D

Oh, and thanks Bandit for that lovely diversion :mrgreen:

Hi Trencher

This is a consideration for me, I've always wanted to give it a go, but my specialist said it's particularly hard on the knees while you're learning. Is this right?

Another question. I heard somewhere that it's recommended that kids shouldn't learn to snowboard until they're 13 as it's detrimental to their wrists at a young age. any opinions? I keep promising my boys but I'm delaying...

Yes, and probably right, yes.
I am going to have a go at snowboarding sometime, just having too much fun skiing right now.
