Absolutely loved it & recently went to Andorra & did my first black run.

Its a bit like waterskiing only with a more vertical element :mrgreen:


Why would anyone drink plum brandy :shock:

It must be great being a bar owner in some of these resorts where you can get rid of all your old Cr*p on the brits :shock:

Every since I was little I was mesmerised by ice skating and skiing on the TV (since about 1968 then since you ask!) but it was way out of my parents league to go or even pay for me to go on the school skiing trip, so had to make do with the occasional trip to the nearest ice rink about 25 miles away.

First OH would have nothing to do with it (should have know it was doomed from the start!) so my daughter got to ski long before me on her school trips and I was so envious, but shiny new OH is a very experence skier and so I finally got my wish and started skiing about 5 years ago and I justcan't get enough of it. OH thinks I'm slightly unhinged as I read and re-read ski brochures as standard bedtime reading and have at least two trips booked at any one time!

Nah, think I'll keep him around a bit longer, even if he doesn't ski :D
