You can now get all three of these wicked Freeride Ski movies direct from j2ski. Just head for our new Ski-e-Shop.

Any other recommended movies you think we should stock? Or that you just think are cool!

Anyone here going to Verbier Ride 05? It's just a few weeks away now and we have (just a little) of the official gear available in our new Shop area - so snap it up and go to the ball!

We also have a DVD of last years event available with some crazy freeride action from this top freeskiing event. 8)

Hi Paul, we'll add you to our Directory on our next update, no worries - can we get a link back?

You have some beautiful hills in Ireland - do you ever get enough snow to board them?

Try contacting the tourist office via www.leysin.ch. It will probably be worth trying to book in advance as Leysin will be very busy next weekend - peak season, half term so you might have limited choice on the day.

If you have no luck going direct, try SnowRental as I think they deal with hire shops in most resorts nowadays.

If it's your kids first time, you might be better off looking at one of the smaller, local stations in the area (if you can get in contact with a ski hire place) as they may be less busy.

Good luck!

Anyone used Swisscom Wireless Internet in Verbier? Is the coverage good and can you pay by the hour?

Cheers

I keep hearing about Engelberg, and hope to get there later this season; big vertical apparently. Anyone skiied there?

A ski buddy of mine is having a confidence problem that seems to be getting worse... he *was* a reasonable intermediate skier a couple of years back. Now even a moderately inclined (I won't use the word steep...) Blue causes an immediate reversion to "survival skiing" and use of the Snowplough!

Apart from just telling him to "go for it" - any tips for, er, mental attitude improvement?
