Was on a chairlift in Morzine last week trying to work out the
boarder/skier ratio. It was easy to do as generally, all the
people moving were skiers and all the people boarding were sat
down somewhere in the middle of the piste.
It was roughly around 20:1.

It's opposite off piste where the real fun is

Rubbish.

Tongue in cheek - hence the smiley!

When doing serious off-piste routes, it's quite rare to see
boarders, as there tends to be at least a bit of poleing, long
traverses and flat terrain. I know a few guys that would be happy
doing this sort of thing on boards, but the vast majority that you
see slightly off-piste don't tend to venture much further afield.

I was seriously looking at a split board myself the other day in
Banff before my better half reminded me we're about to buy a Rayburn!


What's wrong with an Aga?

Don't mind either - ebay seems to have a larger percentage of Rayburns for
sale at the moment, and I have to get cracking before building regs change!
