I agree with ise about the potential for inaccuracy with the GPS measurement. I do have beg to differ about the speed of recreational skiers. I'm one, and I found it pretty easy to hit 51mph (83kph, Longines Timing), using a pair of rather tired rental skis. From the way it felt, I know there have been occasions when I have been somewhat faster.

I think that Switzerland is included because it is within the European Economic Area, which is different to the E.U, but don't quote me :D

I don't own a laminator :mrgreen:

A very respectable performance for the 1st slide of the season 8)

I still can't get my head properly around the reverse kick turn, it all seems a bit much at the moment, rather like crochet for legs :shock:

Can you do some for me please, and I can watch :D

thin skinnies, a mistake really, I was crashing through the snowpack up and down so it was hard work in places, something fatter would have been better.

on the upside though, I did practise my reverse kick turns which might be easier in some places--- more testing required :D

The PIT Lights, and it was really a Voodoo's day? So,...1st turns of the season and all, how many times did you wipe out? Not including trying the reverse kick turns )

Nice one ise :thumbup:

Still looks a little thin in places though. Which skis did you use?




(Sigh) :mrgreen:

Last minute.com are supposed to be doing £99 ski deals at 10am today. I think it's their 10th Birthday as a company. Got to be worth a look :D

To be honest if my yoga instructer were to look like the picture RossF posted, then I certainly wouldn't be clearing up any stiffness problems.

Tino, I see that Zermatt are offering "Buff Yoga" classes today. I'm not sure if it lost something in translation. You were thinking of visiting the resort, so chance to check it out.
:lol:
