juanchan Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 BTTT Just chatting to Ian on msn and we're definitely up for going skiing/snowboarding next season. Current thinking is pre-xmas if possible, obviously as cheaply as possible as I'm tight like that , but open to ideas. My personal preference will be the Alps, most likely France. This list was generated previously, so I'll start there. I appreciate that the 08-09 ski season is a wee while off now, but is anyone else genuinely interested in joining in for a week in the snow? If so, get your name down and we'll start throwing some ideas round the ring 1. Ian W 2. JuanChan 3. 2JG 4. matlee 5. Cable 6. Mr Hanky Edit: I'm off snowboarding this weekend actually, just to make you all jealous, but also means I won't be involved in any discussion next week.

juanchan Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Anyone fancy doing a meet at the Snowdome in Milton Keynes? This could be an idea come the autumn, just to top the skills back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to those 'doon sooth' any scottish peeps could meet at Xscape in Braehead, Glasgow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I was thinking of beginning to tobogan, maybe buying a tobogan, but not too big a tobogan. As I reckon, too big a tobogan is not the tobogan I should buy to begin to tobogan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 You into your 'boarding, Ian? Similar to those 'doon sooth' any scottish peeps could meet at Xscape in Braehead, Glasgow? Have done mono boarding before (feet straight on rather than sideways) can't see it being much different. Ski-ing was may fortee but gonna go for boarding now. Would be up for Xscape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski-ing was may fortee but gonna go for boarding now. Would be up for Xscape I saw a fair few mono-skiers last week. The ski itself looks like a powder snowboard from what I could see - clearly directional (more obviously so than a regular snowboard) yet dealt with fairly icy pistes very well. And the speed they shot along at Also, how come skiers tend to dislike boarders and vice versa? I tend to get intimidated by anyone going a lot faster than me, more so by skiers than boarders though. My skier mates were the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because snowboarding is cooler and all skiers are jealous at how good boarders look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Right gents, There is now a thread in the Europe events section for us to discuss dates for this trip, after which we'll look into destinations (and budgets for that matter). See you on the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Went to A&E this morning after landing vaguely on my head last week, and I've given myself a hefty dose of whiplash!! At least I haven't broken any vertebrae in my neck Bring on some snow next season I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it looks like being a week in January and we'll be confirming the dates first before looking into the location and budget Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
