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

    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise 
    • Ugly...maybe..does it bother me..NO! I think its somehow reassuring to see theres still phoneboxes around. East Dulwich may well be getrified but there may well be some elderly people who don't have mobiles and kids who may have lost theirs adults ditto etc etc. I'd rather keep it than lose it...just because i don't use it does'nt mean its not needed.  there are many eyesores in the modern world not all of them as potentially useful.
    • I strongly recommend Balayage salon in Lordship lane as everytime I visit,they make me feel very spicial with thier profisionalism and care.   I have been going there for the last 10 years maybe more, and will never exchange them for any other. They are profisional, welcoming and they also always have an offer. I feel like a new woman every time. X
