tino_11, this is a good thought provoking post. I do see the issue with the next step being oone of personal perception. We may think (in our heads) that the next step is say, to go "steep and deep" because we have done it all on the piste, whereas what we really need is to learn to ski effectively on piste first. How we perceive our ability on skis/board can be radically different to our actual capabilities. This applies equally to both over estimation, underestimation, and lack of self belief. Because of this, some skiers never reach their potential, and always struggle. which is a shame.

I know exactly the restaruant you talk about Trencher, I may be in there the Friday after next I think! I didn't go for the 64 oz Porterhouse, settled for the 32 oz instead :-) Also the "Brownie....for 10" was amazing!!

32oz. Hmmm, that's just a little excessive :mrgreen:

I could go for the Brownie for 10 though :oops:

Alpine Toboggan Ride perhaps?

Im 6' 3" normally and a little taller with my boots on!

Oooh good and tall then )

My, how times change though. At 5'4" (164) my old skinny skis are 190's . Still got em too :lol:

My Orthopaedic consultant was very fond of Gressoney. Said it would suit me if I wanted to thrash down Red runs all day ) I've not been to see if he was correct, but he kept on going back, year after year.

Anyone.....?

By the way, a film called "Bandit Girl" is currently on Nollywood movie channel. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was you, Bandit, given your multiple skills?

Sorry, appearing in movies is not my claim to fame :lol:

Is this the thread where we get to discover that tino is 4 feet 10 )

Woo-hoo caron-a is shorter than me :D

It seems that I'm easily excited :oops:
