Any skiers out there ? One of the things that helps me get through the lack of riding in winter is looking forward to a week in the mountains. Pretty close to biking for thrills and it doesn't hurt as much when you fall off.
I've done a bit of snowboarding but I broke my wrist last time out, been a few years now so I might be heading over to the Chill Factor some day soon
done it years ago bit not recently. i really need to get the wife and kids skiing int he next year or so
I am a snowboarder ! Come back from Sierra Nevada today after a weeks snowboading . had a excellent time ! Going to Andorra next time .
Cool I'd love to ski in the States or Canada sometime. I'm off to Courchevel for a week in Jan. I find a lot of parallels (sic) between biking and skiing. For me it's all about speed and cornering. Knee down on a bike is no problem but I'm still trying to get my hand down skiing. Unfortunately one week a year isn't really enough to improve. This is cool...
I wish As I say one week a year isn't enough. I could go more but that would mean fewer bike trips. Just waiting on the euro millions !
Arthur, so you do show up on film! I'd love to have a go at snowboarding but too old and broken and chicken now. Watched the racing on Eurosport earlier. So cool.
Used to go every year with my school and then five years running with about 30 lads... Skiing and boarding!! Absolutely love it, but not been for about four years now... Miss it sooo much!
Also going snowboarding in Bulgaria in march for a week ! I do a lot of moutain biking an snowboardng in the winter then the fireblade comes out in the summer .
