Just come off the edges as you hear the "ice sound" flatten bases to the ice till you feel bases become grippy to the snow and then bobs your uncle your away again.

??? Flatten out my skis? Does that mean put them flat on the piste (I'm not doing that), or flatten the edges against the fall line horizontally (I'll do that)?
I wish I could meet the person who first decided to strap 2 planks to their feet and throw themselves down a mountain

Emma,
The hire shops I have used have always given us skis with nice sharp edges and told us to come back and have them re-sharpened free of charge overnight if it's very icy and they start to lose their edge (after, say 3 days of ski-ing on ice).

We had snow on 24th and 25th but it soon gets compacted around here and the slopes are permanently in the shade. Not proper "icy" but there are certainly patches that are scaring the unconfident.
Im skiing 'cos I don't like boarding on the old stuff.

I'm wearing green camo pants and am 6'4 with black helmet. Also there until around 8th.
New snow comes Tuesday night, then fades out my midday Wednesday.
