Caught myself waking up to two dreams last night, one was about work (again) and the other about snowboarding.... what does that tell you??

You need to get out more )

Cupra20v.t If you are still keen on doing the Motorhome trip, I think I may have hit paydirt for you, in terms of campsite information. Have a look at this link, and click on each destination to see the info :D

It was probably the most sober holiday of my life, the reason was far more innocent, it was my first time up the mountain, never skied or boarded before. All my mates were off doing blacks, and the only thing I had in common with black was the colour of my knees.

ISTR you saying that you took yourself out of lessons after a day or so. Do you think you would have progressed faster if you had stuck with them?

Did you get some knee guards, before or after the black knees? )

What do I get?

I'm not sure, do you have any ideas :lol:

Perhaps someone punched you during the flight?

We dont often use lifts or funiculars as part of our holiday is walking/hiking/playing in the snow, so we usually walk/hike up the side of a mountain, when we reach the top, ski/board back down. So we really go at our own speed or pace. I would love to sort it out, its not severe enough for me to see Docs and does not stop me doing every-thing, but would love to feel tip-top for all of my holiday

Rose, walking up ski hills in alpine ski boots is hard work. Check out some touring skis and boots on your next trip. That way, if you are skiing, you can keep your skis on while you are ascending using skins, leaving your hands free for your poles.The equipment is generally lighter than alpine kit. :D

Bottom line: It will be less stress and expense to fly instead of drive. Getting your party into ski school would be a smart choice, unless, you all get together and go to a snowdome before you go to resort. Most slope operators run "Learn to ski in a day" courses. Might be an option worth checking out.

Tino, I win the N word bet I believe )

it was pretty hairy coming down in the funicular though. if you haven't tried it (which I reckon most people haven't because they'd ski it) it's worth the experience!

We used to download that way during summer training when it isn't possible to ski out (even on someone else's skis). I was there on the day the drive cable snapped on the cable car, later when they'd got everyone out the funi' broke down carrying them back leaving them in the tunnel for 45 minutes, a bad day for some people )

ISTR that you were standing on the piste and underneath that cable car when the cable snapped. Very scary.
