Dealing with Forest tracks
Dear All,
I am off to the Czech Mountains in a few days. Unfortunately the snow is a little thin in the ground so I may have to move to the Great Mountains, Harrakov. From the maps it seems if I go up into the hills I will have to ski through forest tracks. Will they be narrow? I have never solved the problem of how to ski down a narrow forest track. Any suggestions? Thanks Neil |

Any suggestions? Thanks Neil Neil, Sorry that I can't help with any knowlegable advice. But here in the States, if a Alpine skier hits a tree, it is called doing a "Bono" after Sunny Bono the celiberity politician who died colliding with a tree at a downhill (lift-assisted) ski resort. So, don't do a "Bono" skiing though the forests. On the other hand, if you are a conservative, a "Bono" would be called a "Kennedy" after Michael Kennedy of the Kennedy clan's death under somewhat similar circumstances. The difference is that Michael's accident was related to playing a form of American football on the ski slopes. Edgar |
