« on: 08 December 2012, 21:03 »
As above, really enjoy it. Was up Cairngorm today for first time this year. Looks like a good season hopefully! Been alps once too on a lads holiday with a differance haha...

Anyone else enjoy launching themselves down a hill with their feet strapped to a board haha?  :smiley:

dont think a 4 week old baby would be able to board or ski :grin:

nah with hwr being pregnant she couldnt really ski for pretty much whole of this year and shes just bough her 2nd house last year so the previous year she spent doing the house out nd sorting every thing so she hasent really had time

however one of my mates was on about skiing the other week so might try presuade him to get into it.


And yeah dry slope sucks compared to real snow. lot more painfull. specially if you catch your finger in one of the gaps.


also. dont know if you guts know of them or what there like. but breakoutski.com they seem to have some good deals on some times just incase anyone was thinking of booking a holiday at some point.
