Skiing wins. I've just got back from a week in the Grand Massif (Les Carroz, Flaine etc) - 5 skiers, 1 snowboarder and we were ALWAYS waiting for the boarder to catch up, do up his bindings, get up off of his ar$e yadda yadda yadda.

Snow conditions were the best I've seen in years with inches and inches of powder even on the lower runs. Visibility could have been better and there was only one sunny day but the snow made up for that. Might be going back for a sneaky weekend in April.

It basically involves taking a puppy to a black run. Dig a hole through the snow to the ground. Driving a stout pole into the ground. Tie the young dog to the said post. Set of an avalanche. Deadmarkthedog.

I definitely prefer skiing... I tried boarding a few years ago, but got fed up with falling over all the time. I've never felt so sore in my life.


Most of the people I usually go away with are boarders. I travel at approximately double their speed down the slope, and they're very picky about what slopes they'll go down (nothing too steep, nothing too flat, not too much camber, etc). But I must admit that snowboarding looks a lot more fun in the powder.

Seems skiing is still very strong it seems ,we go as a mixed board/ski group really depends on skill level but do tend to wait for boarders. Have you tried any twin tip fat powder skis........snowboard influenced shaping and technology, basically like a pair of Subaru imprezas on your feet..........wheyyy


Cant wait

    • The empty shelves is well reported, but the sewage smell has been awful for weeks if not months, and just keeps getting worse. It started off near the Costa machine/ behind the delivery and collections booth thing, but now it hits you the second you walk in the store. I’m amazed nothing (visibly at least) appears to be going on to fix it. Somewhat relieved it’s not just me who can smell it!
    • Andy Burke has done 2 plumbing jobs for us in the last few weeks and we highly recommend him. His number is 7983 688 451.
    • I presume the terrapins originally came to the park as unwanted pets. It seems to be fairly common for people to dump them in park ponds etc when they realise they don't stay the small size they were when they bought them.
    • Same reason that M&S's shelves were half empty recently. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/apr/30/co-op-forced-to-shut-down-part-of-it-system-after-hack-attempt?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
