It was on our lift pass when we skied in Neustift, nothing stands out particularly, but it was just before New Year, -20 degrees and got dark v early. I do remember hanging around for ages to get a bus back to Neustift - I am sure it is OK, but this was my experience.

Glad I have made you smile Discodee!! :D

On the Piste is the best documentary ever that the BBC made - a fly on the wall piece about 1 group in Soll, Austria and the others of the DHO (v posh Downhill Only Club) in Wengen - search for it in Youtube - absolutely priceless. I had a tape of it which has disintegrated as it has been loaned out so much! Why the BBC don't repeat it every ski season I will never know - the clothes and hair may have changed but the beginners have not!! Never seen my dad laugh so much in his life, bless him!!

Now you have shattered my illusions as I did not think you had a mini afro!! Man!

It's casual!

I always slap on stuff - P20 is highly recommended for skiers as it is non-greasy and lasts all day, so you don't sit on the gondola looking like a chip!!

We skied Sierra Nevada in Spain (or Sol y Nieve as it is now) and it is very high. I thought I had put factor 15 on but in fact it was 8, and so I had the most horrendous sunburn, even inside my ears, and up my nostrils - it was awful. I started my new job on the Monday and went in with a peeling face and ears - not a good look!!

P20 is highly recommended for skiers and can be bought at airports, Ebay and some chemists.

Good, I am impressed you have remembered that bit! )

I am going to print of Marksman's wise words and keep them with me! There will come a point where it will all go 't*ts up!' - usually Black Thursday, so I shall just read those few words, find myself an easy slope and sort myself out for the day - and come home with a grin on my face as per usual! :D :D :wink:

Meanwhile OH will have had several 'encounters', a few wipe outs and called someone a t**t in assorted lauguages!

And so we will retire to the bar..
