Oh dear, treble :( for wrecking your camera, believing the mfrs hype, and buying a turkey.

You can buy another A95, this supplier will ship internationally..

Wickers apart from the paint job, what makes this ski "very pleasant" in your view? :D

The sort of details I'm interested in are:

Construction

On slope performance

Swing weight

Turn radius

all the usual little details really :D

18-30 was fun :lol:


OOOhh Errr Mrs :mrgreen:


At the time 18-30 Ski was pretty unique in having plenty of sole occupancy places without surcharges. The rep tried hard to get us into the discos and party stuff, but failed as everyone was there to ski :D


Is that what you crazy kids called it :wink:


About the kids bit...there were a few slapheads, and this was before it became marginally fashionable :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you want real difficulty, then you will have to go over to Les Arcs, as I wouldn't say La Plagne has too much extreme stuff.


The North Face of Bellecote springs to mind. You don't think that's difficult?

I was invited to ski it with a group back in 2006. I declined, my skills may have been up to it, but my head was not.

ise did go, and had a good day. http://snowslider.net/2006/04/18/2006-04-18-bellecote-north-face/#more-93
