    Funny you should say that cheesy, it was his mint sauce I was using all week in the alps. I wonder if he makes his own 😯

    All fine this morn. Weird one that. Still gave me something to nibble on other than my toenail clippings.

    Shall I save the bits and make a mask like leather face?

    The shower gel not the cartoon sheep. That would just go soggy in the shower you silly boy. Unless you laminated it.

    Maybe, just a fine layer of helmetdale.

    Why would an EBB make the rear wheel removal more difficult? It makes it easy peasy as you can just use a QR with the standard drop outs.

    Same happened to me. Had a chat with Mike at magura (07773 453681) and he did me a deal on half of the components. Still it was about £130. They have been fine since and do feel nice but I wish I had sent them back and bought something else before I messed with them.

    What are the blue runs back to the resort like?

    All of the runs directly into resort are red or green. If you mean snow conditions, then not good when I left I’m afraid. very icy and slushy. If you mean ease or difficulty for the Mrs, I couldn’t compare as it was my first trip but nothing seamed very difficult on piste to be honest but we didn’t do any blacks as they looked like icy mogul fields and hard work for boarders.

    That’s exactly what I did. Are you staying at Les Linders? If you are, it’s great, the food is fantastic and the place is so sorted and friendly. Please say hello from Ryan to Xavier, the chief instructor there. He may have a story or two to tell.

    We were VERY lucky. Now snow in the alps for two weeks when we arrived. We had a little dump mid week then the thaw started down low. We had a day of rain which was snow up high so it was still good up there and off piste was still powder in places. The last two days turned everything up high to ice and down low to slush and grass. Praise to the piste bashers. As we were on the way out of Flaine, they were trucking snow in!!! Felt sorry for the folks arriving as we were leaving. Chamonix had snow today I’m told so hopefully the weather is on the turn again.

    yup, first trip to the snow. I did used to skate board when I was a kid and learnt to snowboard at Tamworth in a day then went 5 times or so and twice messing about on the local hill with the Tollah when we had the dump. I went with a mate who was experienced (Kieran on here) and we had some lessons in a mastery group. I told the instructor I had never been before at the end of the lessons. I’m not sure what he said in french to the group but they all made a lot of noise. To be honest, parts of the lessons were tricky, trying to to nose and tail press into 180 switch’s down reds on ice. Fun though and I think I’ve picked a lot up from the week.

    My favs were serpentine, tourmaline and marmotte but after I was over the speed thing I found that I really preferred off piste days trying not to touch any runs at all. Great place though if you like chilled nights with no screaming chavs.

    Concave or convex depending on which way you look at it.

    There is nothing convex about them bud. Flat as a pancake with the axle proud of the body. I hope you get on with them but bejeezus they’re as grippy as a slippy thing on shiny thing.

    Jedi, sorry to say but you will be soooo disappointed with the cranfields if they are the crampons. You wont believe how little grip they give. After a quick go around the car park with 5 10’s on I said no thanks. look ace but they are shite. Sorry bud.

    Nope. Sat on sofa alone all day after upsetting the mrs by telling her to stop trying to make me enjoy Christmas. She’s just come back in and we’ve just done the pressys at 21:00. Humbug 😆

    The 20″ is huge. I’m 6,1″ and had an 18″. Was perfect. A mate is 6 6″ or so and has a 20″. It’s a gate.
