Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Yeah we take them every year to Pamps, just need to ensure you take enough batteries, as the eat them like. Also, you can sometimes catch some randoms taking on your line too, as a lot of people take them, so it's always fun pretending to be someone else, and sending there party to the wrong place!!!!!! obviously depending on who they are etc.. Not funny with the little kids... but adults is great, then you go wait for them in the spot you have told em to go and just sit and laugh when they are looking about!!! We just picked some up from curry's I think, yellow colour, work great, still use them and will do again this year.. happy talkies!! and obviously they are usful for if you loose your mates!!!!!!! spec after a few on the slopes!

We have some, too. You can get rechargeable ones that sit in a docking station overnight, so you don't need to keep buying batteries. The sort you get in Argos operate on several fixed channels, so you can arrange to switch over to a quiet channel once you've made contact.

Bear in mind that they only operate on 'line of sight'. That means there cant be any mountains between you.

Only one person can transmit at one time on each channel, so it's polite to keep your chatter to a minimum. (But no one pays any attention to this, so inevitably you'll end up listening to continuous stream screaming of OMG-this-is-so-cool-I-cant-believe-the-snow-is-so-white-my-pants-are-falling-down-I-saw-this-guy/gal-and-s/he-was-so-gorgeous-and-on-and-on-and-on, so you wont get a word in when you've got much more important things to talk about, like when's the beer stop! >sigh< )
