I've got to agree that people think they can ski better than they can, sure it gives a confidence boost to beginners and eggs them on a bit, but last year i thought it was quite funny seeing beginners trying to go down a black run in Mayrhofen, they just fell at the top and slid all the way to the bottom. Its not too good either when you are trying to do some slower technique practice and a punter comes out of nowhere and takes you out like a kamikazee.

Hello Back 8)

Anyone out there race? If you race in the UK you might have heard that we have lost half of the slopes in England and Wales (Llandudno, Swadlincote, Bromley, Chatham etc..) due to the use of a new surface. Now it turns out to be even more dangerous than Dendix (the current stuff that your thumbs get stuck in)!!! ~:(
Cioa for now !heart speedy girl |

I'm a racer on the England team and I believe that without carving skis skiing would never develop and change like everything should. Without carvers we wouldn't be able to ski as safely either as you can move one hell of a lot easier on carvers than on the old planks. Think how much easier it is now for beginners to learn to ski, though I really don't want any more people on the slopes as there's enough congestion already, its not so fun when you spend half the day in a lift queue.
