the new set up

Out with the ladies on the hill today.

Fran and Heather skied 12km with 808m of ascent.

Di done exactly the same route but skied at least 20km with 1200m of ascent.

The reason?

Well, I wanted a ski set up that would let me move fast in the hills and opted in the end for a very sexy pair of fishscale green ski's with posh chilli bindings and fabby T4 telemark boots.

Invincible me thinks.

However, the sexy green ski's are utter sh*te on anything more that [what left like] 10 degrees.

So, as Heather & Fran were putting the world to right, Di was in her own little world of utter suffering having to skin a bzillion miles further with ski's that refused to work.

On a positve note, it was bloomin' gorgeous on the hill and although the ski descent wasn't pretty, I never broke anything.

God, its good to be home...
