sorry should have made it clearer(snow blades short skis I'm told) they asure me that they will be as safe ski-ing on them as skies. they have skifor four years also have manged part of the wall in pamps but worried blades are to quick and harder to control.
Dave also agree knives should be kept for cutting food
My two lads have bought blades for our next trip (23 Dec). They hired blades last time in pamps and had great fun. My son says they are easier than skiing but everyone's different.
shazj, my mate taught me to ski on blades last year they seem to be a lot quicker to pick up and even though he can ski on long ski's he swears by them! we'll both be on blades when we are back in march!
trie blades last year on our last day in boro enjoyed them so much me and my mate bought our own for this year feb 4th 06 cant wait to try them out we found them a lot easier to use thogh they are quicker im sure they will be fine
