I'm a kind of beginner boarder and there is nothing worse when you are learning than a school of skiiers coming down a slope like a huge snake! The best bit is when the one in the middle falls over and takes out the lot in front and the rest behind follow suit, like a pack of dominoes!!!
I am in Pamps from 27th Jan, but am not one of those that sit in the middle of the slope, if i fall over, i try and get out of everybody's way as I know how much of a pain it is when you are a ...

The worst thing about being a boarder is that at some point you have had to decide to choose to be one because it is perceived by your average spotty nosed school kid as being "cooler" rather than thinking about it a little bit and realising that it will be nigh on impossible to ride a chair lift without irritating the person next to you, pondering what happens when the piste goes flat or being very concerned about having to drink your pint through a staw because you have broken both your ...

and i have never seen a snowboarder looking cool while walking up a slope with their leg dragging behind them like a zombie while the skiiers zip straight past and up to the slopeside bar!
I think its just not being informed as what to do e.t.c
i remember is my very first skiing days i was sat (not quite in the middle of a run) but not far from it when a skier ...yes a skier decided it would be very funny to give me a snow spray,anyhow i called him everything but could not catch up with him anyhow the group of ppl i was with said that i was in the wrong,i had not been told this even in a ski school that i had been in.So basically what i`m saying is that maybe a word with ...
