If I told you... there'd be one less mystery in the world... 8)
It's just an accident of history, and the reality is much less interesting than the mystery. |

If public transport doesn't fit there's at least one car hire company in Bourg St.Maurice (Europcar I think). Might be worth enquiring if you can get a one-way hire to the airport. I'd be surprised if they don't get one-ways coming out from Grenoble so they might cut you a deal to get a car back there. |

Well, I reckon Dave Mac will be easy to spot (didn't he say he skis with a guitar in one hand and a beer in the other?)... all you need to do is regularly stand upside down as per your picture... and I think Hamish just said he's got a screw loose? 8) Job done... So if we get some j2ski beanies, or something similar, made up - would anyone want one/wear one? |

Good call - surfers seem to find a lot in common. Do you skateboard as well (that's good too)? Oh, and welcome aboard... 8) |

Hi Chris, and welcome...
A couple of the regulars are out in Canada doing seasons and training to be instructors. Not sure if they're on gap years themselves but I'm sure they'll be willing to share their experiences... if they ever come off the mountain or out of the bars... :lol: Hey, Benny, Ross... how's it going guys? |

Eeeee... you guys are so gonna be in trouble if your partners find this thread... :lol:
"carrying home with the tips pointing down" ??? :shock: :D But you make it too complicated... When young and inexperienced you select a ski with a narrow waist and a nice side-cut, that's easy to, er, "ride". And don't set the bindings too tight as you want a clean release with no injury if things get bumpy and you need to go your separate ways. When more mature, you'll find a ski to work with you in perfect harmony. That takes all that the mountain has to throw at you, stays with you and brings you home with a huge smile after every run. 8) |

snow forecasts temperature at Alpe d'huez

Hi Alan,
Are you seeing this in your e-mail? And are you reading it at work or otherwise behind a mail filter or firewall? If so, you're one of a select few... 8) It seems that certain firewall/spam filter suites like to take our lovingly crafted HTML and replace all the degree symbols with zeroes. :evil: Temperatures look fine on our online Snow Forecast for Alpe d'Huez - which is built from the exact same HTML fragments as our forecast e-mails. If you do a View Source on that page you'll see the character code (176) for a degree symbol. The degree symbol is in your e-mail when it leaves us, but gets mugged when it's on its way and minding its own business. We get a handful of reports of this in a season - from over 10K mails sent each week. So a few of our subscribers get to see temperatures magnified by a factor of 10! Sorry. Rest assured, -120C does seem unlikely... although it would keep the snow in good nick. p.s. "Bootofbeer"? Oh no... flashbacks to Pavel's "brand new" bootliner toast holders... :lol: |
