The changing world
|
| |
Whilst trying to book next year's skiing holiday, I found that both Inghams and Neilson wanted just about double the one week holiday rate for a two week holiday. Inghams said that the reason for this was that they booked flights in blocks of 70 seats and they might be left with unused seats.... more »

...to stay in Tasch and ski Zermatt?
My first & third ski trips were to Zermatt, but as I really wasn't any good, I
never got to ski the whole area. I always meant to go back one day and ski the
runs I simply wasn't brave or capable enough to do back then.
As I might be able to wangle a long weekend (ideally Fri-Tue, provided I can... more »

Alps this year
|
| |
I think I can safely say that snow isn't a problem in the Alps this year,
certainly not in Flaine.
I also /need/ some all-mountain skis and another week's off-piste training.
I tried hiring a pair of older Scott Crusade skis for a day - surprisingly
light and even carved a quite well on piste, albeit in near-perfect snow.... more »

Rauris Ski Area
|
| |
Been trying to find out which ski region Rauris (Austria) belongs to. I'm trying to find a ski pass that will cover the entire region. If
anyone has any advice or knows which area it's in I'll be really
grateful! Thanks!

Easyjet Geneva queue
|
| |
Yesterday the Easyjet queue snaked round the zone 5 end of the departures hall, all the way down the hall and out of the zone 1 entrance. I don't suppose that this is a record!
On the +ve side this was the first time in four years that our flight at 18:45 to Gatwick was not cancelled.

Have skis got longer again?

Have skis got longer again?
I have been using 165-168cm skis for the past few years and I find this length very good. - I don't normally cross them!
I was looking in Snow and Rock and the skis they had were generally a bit longer.
