Hmmm..'Gay-tray brigade' eh? ..small minded and homophobic in one fell swoop. Nicely done.

Sense of humour bypass?????

I think the "gay on a tray" phrase is an affectionate one used by many skiers towards our mono friends. I don't believe its small minded, especially when you take into account boarders refer to skiers as "p****s with sticks" which I haven't seen many skiers taking offence to.
As for homophobic, well I guess in today's PC gone mad world some small minded people could take it that way if they CHOOSE to.

Back on topic;

I liked sauze a lot. Quiet slopes, nice little town, reasonable prices, large area linked.
Have to say I saw about 90% skiers to boarders ratio when I was there, don't known if that's normal there. A mate of mine who boarded with us did do a lot of moaning about flat spots and having to take his board off and walk a lot.

Unlucky

I'm not a ranter, nor am I easily offended, nor do a suffer from lack of sense of humour (could n't be further from the truth!). However, use of the term 'gay' to imply 'naff, inferior, pathetic'..whatever IS offensive (and a bit childish). I'm gay, and I'm none of those. Replace it with 'black' and see if its socially acceptable.
Then forget about it and get back to skiing/snowboarding :)
I do n't mind

I'm closing this one off.

The last post was not appropriate (to this forum) and has been removed. Shipjack has made his point politely and as he says "forget about it and get back to skiing/snowboarding".

Family-friendly please - with emphasis on the friendly!

Carry on...
