Mah Jong

You're off quite soon, arent you? We'll be at the Dinghy Show all talking about you!!

Take plenty of pix to show us what REAL snow's like (not the balding patches of freezer shavings, like in my garden  )

Oh, one more thing: have fun!

Well, maybe not that far above snow... But I can picture scoob suspended in mid-air for seven years, waiting for the cable to snap

No wonder he wants to play Mah Jong! He's probably fed up with "I spy!"

Mah Jong has not been played yet.

Now, the Skiing.

Firstly when you hire your ski's (First time in 15 years as I've always had my own in the past) and ask for the DIN setting at 8.5, check that they have actually set them at 8.5 and not 10-12 which mine had been - Had a major wipe out at speed on the first day and had that oh Sh!t feeling and my knee bent forwards, but the ski did come off in the end (both in fact).  Must have been going fairly fast as it took about 50m for me to stop once the ski's came off - result, no skiing the next day and lots of pain.

Rest of the skiing was excellent (if taken a little easy) and a little cold (-30 at the top of the Valluga I lift ! - 2650m) and then it snowed and snowed and snowed, and then snowed a little more, in fact it snowed so much I spent virtually no time off piste as it was way too dangerous (5 killed while I was there off the back of the Kapall skiing a closed ski route without a guide - idiots.  )  

For anyone who has been there - when the run back from Valluga finally opened, it had been piste bashed - now skiing that when it is flat is fun  

Question is where to go next year......

As for my comments about staying above the snow, I like to do a little flying while I Ski, some of my mates called me biggles on one holiday

And finally, 3rd time to St. Anton and I have not skiied the route from the top station of the valluga II lift to Zurs

Just one piccy for you :
