British skier dies in Alpe d'Huez

More likely, the French authorities incorrectly interpreting the contents of the "secret list" of banned items issued by the EU. pdf here...

I have carried a ski helmet in a backpack through LGW and GVA several times without any problems.

Recent court action by an Austrian tennis player may improve matters...eventually :roll:

Well you can't miss me, can you ? the wife has put us both on a low fat diet after the five courses Swiss side, god I'm staving :mrgreen:


Yes, but is it low calorie too :mrgreen:
It would seem a shame that using a self arrest technique was not on the French guys' mind before he totalled your mates skis :shock:

Who is picking up the bill?

The arms are on the jacket detachable (if you're that way inclined) and the collar is high enough to act as a neck gaiter without riding too high. The lining is just the right thickness and allows room for a fleece underneath for really cold days on the slopes.

I must admit that I wasn't completely sure about buying from Spyder Ski Store as I couldn't find any reviews online and they use a mobile rather than landline, but they responded very quickly to requests for information and extra photos before I bought the jacket and it arrived via Royal Mail next day special delivery.


If the jackets are fake as has been suggested, does that mean that new poster Snow Time is a Spammer, or a victim of counterfeiting?
Anyone use walkie talkies?

I use them, have some, Motorola with a charger base, very easy to use, with digital channel codes, so I don't get to listen to folks endlessly saying "Roger" and "Over".

Who is this Roger bloke anyway? :D

Seriously though, it is killing me. I am watching CLAIM for the 500th time and want to weep.


You are closer to viable skiing terrain than most of us. Get some touring kit, and get up there!

Nothing wrong with them, I'll try and take a photo of me in my Nevica two piece, that should cause a laugh :shock:


I thought that S&M was now a criminal offence. Please don't drag us down to the gutter :lol:
