Cheers


On your next trip, rent some new skis for a couple of days, and see how they feel.
Sallies, do have a tendency to go a bit soft and floppy when they are old! )

The time that the teenager had spent buried, meant that the odds were well against him surviving.

If they had fallen off the drag lift, they would have had few choices. The other teen will be able to explain the details, and until the police have finished their investigation and released their report, we can only speculate that either boy intended to ski that slope.

I do agree that every off piste skier should be fully equipped.

Lovely powder, and glorious blue sky!

Just the right conditions for the run down too....and no-one followed you :shock:

Another Kilowatts day?

Perfect :D
I'm very, very envious :mrgreen:

Enjoy :D
This reads like a commercial posting for a chalet operator, and I can't see a link back to J2ski on their site.

Perhaps it should be in the Accommodation Offered, Section of the Forum?

Framed skiing cartoon in lounge entitled "Weekend Warriors". Framed print of Aguille du Midi in study, plus old skiing photo of me :oops: in mid air. No ski memorabilia though )
