I know the feeling - when I was learning many years ago I was given quite long skis and I struggled for a couple of days until I replaced them. My gf had the same experience last year too! I've had the opposite on my board - I used a wide board for a couple of days of riding powder, but really struggled with it on piste! |

I was overcompensating for the length by leaning forward too much with my upper body. That coupled with the crap conditions and I felt like a total beginner. If I can offload these (Salomon Crossmax 8s, 175, 3 days skiied) I might go for some Volkl Supersport 4 stars in 168. You heard anything about these? A. D. |

No - I'm about 5 years out of date on Ski technology I'm afraid! I'd like to say I'd make an offer on the Salomons but I don't know how I'd get on with them either! |

No worries Cupra, I think a pal who came on the trip might take them. Do you ski and board? If you had to just stick with one, which would it be? |

Well if you're skiing on Salomon Crossmax's you certainly won't need to
worry about locking them ;-) Sammy |

I haven't skied for 4 seasons now, mainly because my usual trip 'buddy' is a boarder. But now I've got myself a skiing gf, I'm planning to start where I left off again so she doesn't get too left out all the time! To tell the truth, I enjoy them both but I do prefer boarding on powder days! (plus I can jump on the board - something I never really got proficient at on skis!) |

What do you feel is the best way to discourage them? Surely making their
job as difficult as possible is a start. A. D. Amputation, castration or slightly less. I know this is primitive, uncivilised etc but why does society tolerate thieves ? Don't steal or if caught you will severely dealt with. There is no deterrent except the possibilty of the righteous owner bopping the offender AND then who's in trouble? At a risk of total deviation from the group...People who steal cars...well...come come ....I ask you. |
