Need I say more? T minus 15 weeks and one day to the Ski season...
Mrs NBT last night
Well, yes, I probably do need to say more - these are new boots we bought in the sale last week and Mrs NBT was simply wearing them to make sure they fit OK. We don't often wear ski boots round the house, honest. Especially with the new carpet, I'd normally be skinned alive if I wore *any* outdoor shoes in the lounge!

She's sitting back a bit, but otherwise the technique is perfect.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Actually, I now see that your wife is practising her chairlift technique, so my first criticism is withdrawn.
Does she ever fall off the sofa, and where's the safety bar?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ah, it's good to see 'le position Anglais' still being practiced. Any further back and she'll be an honorary darksider.

Good edge technique though, and excellant tea cup plant too.

Not yet. I did tell her I was going to, and I've sent the link by email so we can read it tonight

Is that a skirt she's wearing. That's likely to be rather chilly in early January.
Perhaps she needs to refer to one of the excellent Snowheads discussions on suitable ski attire.

I thought Snowheads would only be against the one-piece version (ie dress)?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

My only other comment (I think) is the general terrain. It's not very IKEA, is it? Skiing in the living room is all very well, but you need a bit of pine scattered around. Woolworths probably have the snow aerosols in stock by now - give the carpet and cushions a dusting.

Jonny, have you never seen a Scotsman skiing in a kilt.

You know it makes sense.

No problem, as long as you've had enough to drink.....

I've seen the downside of skiing in a kilt. Several years ago at the Irish artificial slope champs near dublin, several members of the Scottish team wore kilts in the dual slalom. One of them fell as he crossed the line and the resulting grazes were not a pretty sight.
