I'm back, what have I missed?

[hotrs2000]

Been away for the last two weeks and a bit in Canada skiing, celebrating my 40th.
I did manage to pop on every now and then but have I missed anything?

here is a few pics of Banff and Lake Louise.

empty ski hill, credit crunch to blame me thinks

Had a great time and did a few black runs this year, injured my upper right arm when I shot out of a steep black run which was a mogul field and went tits up, but just drunk more beer to ease the pain:)

Looks very nice too, dangerous game that skiing lark. A friend had a compound fracture of her leg as her binding didn't release, she was only doing "cross-country" at the time too:eek:

Here in Germany, a top politician killed an American tourist when they collided at the bottom of a slope here a few weeks back (Dieter Althaus (http://www.thelocal.de/national/20090114-16761.html)) :angel: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I try to stay away from it myself though:D ;)

It was warm for the time of year, should of been around -15 but we had temps of around -5 up to +2.
At the top of the mountain it was cold with temps around -16 but still warmer than it should of been.
