Booking my vacation to Whistler for December, this weekend, and keeping an eye on the glaciers in the Alps, I wanna be riding by mid October.

Damian Hirst very alive and stunningly rich :mrgreen:

Monet is pushing up the daisies.....

Go fat, you know you really want to :D

davidmpires, it's a good time to make a definitive want list...otherwise the c/c will be hurting by the time you leave )

Very nice, though I can't help feeling that 30cm on the top is not really enough for skiing IYKWIM )
solo, could you update us on the snow conditions at your other "Premium" destinations :D

The only place I can think of that lets you take your own coach in, is a tennis club. Providing one person is a member of the club, and they pay full court fees your own coach can go in and give you a lesson, even though they have their own coaching staff. I suppose there is no danger factor involved.

We're not talking about coaching or instruction. Have you not given advice on swimming to your kids in the swimming pool. Would you have been offended if after telling your child to try breathing on alternate strokes, some job's worth comes flying over to tell you to desist from instruction or be ejected ? If you were at a skating rink and a friend said try doing this to you only to be pounced upon by the gestapo for unofficial teaching, would you be be p*****d off ?

When does advice become coaching? If giving advice and then modelling the movements for the recipient causes risk to other users of any facility, does the company have a right and responsibility to take action?

I see that the main issue for any provider is "Duty of Care" within H&S legislation. If a member of the public is teaching/coaching/instructing another person then who is responsible in the event of an accident involving another person. Did Jaycraig buy Liability Insurance before he gave tips to his OH? I doubt it, and neither would most of us even consider the need. So it's a catch all, because the company running the slope is liable for accidents on it's premises.

Souldrive...nice to see you again, are you pining for the snow :D
