I am sorry.
Dave has just contacted me and is very busy on persanal matters,, plus he wants to get back at some of you so he is "teasing" you !

I will go on my PC and download pictures or I will post them on Flickr!

Be patient!

Everyone,
Is it not wonderful to "tease' the brain to think!
To make those "neurons" fire,finding connections! I know for sure that when Geordieski finds out about item 6,,,she will rush to her husbands side and bring him to a site which has video and they will watch "how they did it"!!!
You learn at every age!
Dave Mac,
You have all the honors! Imagine two polar fleece jackets from two "special" ski resorts! Once you find out this "new" ski resort you will try even harder!
This vest makes skiers part as you walk by! You will heard whispers as you walk by! Then someone will ask, "did you really ski there?" Are skiers really that fanatic? Is it true about THE,,,, lift? Tell us how it,,,what is it really skiing there!

This site has the smartest skiers and you do have one week!!!!

Just think what you will have learnt!

Just that first item is a ski course in itself!!

The DVDs are coming ,,,,
Pavel
And you have no idea how difficult that one is!

I nearly was going to give a Phenix ski jacket just on that one! I will be very very surprised if anyone gets 5!
Well perhaps DaveMac!!!! We will see how observant he is!
You Mike,,you are no way near this one!!!!!
As promised we have the ski quiz which will help skiers accept Spring and the long long Summer!

There are 10 questions.
The deadline is Friday May 1st 2009 at 12 PM London time!

Enjoy the few nights left!

Pavel
Oh,,,yes you must also read questions carefully!

No shotgun approach allowed! (If you have no idea what this is see Mike)!!!!!

I will try not to give any hints during the one week!
Just last week, I was video taping an intermediate -expert level skier who was "suffering" from this delay problem.
I will try to post it on this site via Dave's expert help!

To most skiers watching this man ,,it appears he is great skier. Skiing in steep,,very steep terrain. Smooth, linked turns.

But if you look carefully,,,you will note that "impatience" to turn, to bring skis round!

Hope to have it here for you soon!
