Well worn in now and been back on the dry slopes already and ohh mustn't say any more or pp will get cross cos its too soon to be impatient!
I have spent a lot of time on a dry slope. I find skiing very similar to skiing on snow, even to the extend that different parts of the slope feel different, (like ice or slush would).
Snowboarding on the other hand is extremely more difficult on the dry slope. Once you have mastered the dry slope, on snow, boarding will be a piece of cake.
