Togette needs to see picture of mine doing a nice Two Skis Airborne at Les 2 Alpes back in 1992, using a bath suit as all clothing [1] [1] As victory of F.C. Barcelona in the Champions League lead to too much drunkenness and promises that later I was requested to fulfill. |

Scuba is more than capable of being a cash sink for example I got involved in a lunchtime discussion about skiing, about 20 years ago when I was spending my disposable on pottering about in little aeroplanes. "Do you ski, Richard?" "No." "Why not?" "Not expensive enough." |

"Do you ski, Richard?" "No." "Why not?" "Not expensive enough." I don't think it is expensive at all. My Columbia Titanium kit has lasted 8 years so far. Boots are about 6 years old and Volkl titanium skis are giving years of service. So it comes down to accommodation. In (for instance) Trois Valee you can go from a few tens of squids a night in a La Tania bunkhouse to several hundred in a Courchevel 1850 palace. I've tried both, the former was a better Beano as it happened. And if you are really pikey, pack some skins and forget the lift pass. -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 *******12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit |
