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

    • I just checked the Southwark Council website and it stated:   All responses to the consultation will be recorded and a ‘consultation findings’ report will be published once feedback has been reviewed. The review process involves collating feedback from a number of council teams and external agencies - the aim will be to publish the report as soon as possible after the consultation has closed and no later than the 31 January 2026. The report will be published on this site. The use of bold type on the date is the Council's, not mine. They are late. I wonder why?
    • I would also like to recommend Leon, who completed an EICR inspection for us. He kept us informed of his arrival time on the day and arrived promptly as promised. He was knowledgeable and clear about what work was required. I would happily recommend him and would not hesitate to use his services again.
    • It's not far from Lordship Lane if you cut down Ashbourne Grove/Melbourne Grove. Depends where you start from, I guess!
    • I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.
