Phew... was worried I'd miss the start of the skiing (am having a slow morning). Will be up there in about 90 minutes!

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

Fell on one of his landings, bit unlucky really otherwise it was awesome.
Now in bed with tea for the duration, a gale forecast for this evening just blew in, on a powder day as well.

Doh, the women are still to go but I guess you're not seeing these replies if the above came by SMS.

Well that was a complete non-event for me.
Buses were rammed and couldn't get on the first one because it was too full; the first time I've experienced this. It was a shit fight to get on the Brevent bubble – some kindly chap barged past me to push onto the bubble and knocked my ski edge into my eyebrow... been sporting a small lump all day.
Skied straight over to the Liaison cable car to find a huge queue. Four bins later and I finally crossed and then a snowboarder took me out getting off the chair.
Missed the comp but I did see two of the riders milling around at the bottom, one tall American chap with dirty blonde hair who was so amped he kept shouting stuff (couldn't see the name on his vest). And then I saw Lopez a little later – he's only about an inch taller than me, so quite tiny really.
Skied a couple of runs and then back to Brevent, where the FWT juniors were holding some event on the hotel face, so I watched that for a bit and was impressed with how well those kids ski. Damn I'm jealous!
At the Brevent mid-station, Zag, DPS, Scott, K2 and a few others had ski tests going on, so quite a good party atmosphere. As I walked past the Zag stand, I heard one of their chaps say something in French and then "Icelantic". Turned around to see them all staring at my Pilgrims like they had spotted an extinct animal.

Yeesh, sounds like a nightmare. The bravest I've gotten today is going out and clearing the deck, steps and digging my car out to go buy some stuff to make my rucksack mount better. Drinking beer and making things at the moment. The feed is online now though so you can still watch it all.
How are the Zag skis?

I love a good tomahawk! Sounds like the FWT party in town is getting into gear – there wasn't much going on earlier when I swung by on my way to the supermarket.

Pretty good, at least they're not ripping off other's designs and marketing ideas.

Are they worth a test?

FAQ
If I had known there would be ski tests available today I would have taken my alpine soles up so that I could try some (I doubt test ski bindings are set for vibram soles).
