My guide for Chamonix...

[Shorey]

What with Brain's first observations about guides and the merits of Gordy actually using a guide in Cham, plus continuing in a "who the fuck is Gordy?" tone for half the thread and then Kanutten chiming in with the priceless comedy piece above, this thread has had me in stiches from the off. Being at home, currently unemployed and crapping myself about mortgage repayments has been made a little more bearable by TGR and this very amusing thread. Thank you.
I'll wait for Hayduke to report back on the Cham trip and save up the £££ for when it happens again. Looks like a wicked trip, hope it goes well.

That Phil is a charlatan, I'm telling you. Here's the original untilted picture.

Make your own mind up.

Come on Roo, I know the origional was taken and photoshopped by me but it wasn't that obvious....was it?

Str8line; I have read about your camp and it sounds really interesting.

I have skied for 3.5 years, and feel really comfortable on red runs now. If I am really up for it, I might even try a black run. A couple of times last season me and my friend Charles even skied outside the slopes (so called off-piste).

I think I would really enjoy your camp. However, I am a little bit worried that your group doesn't fit my level of skiing. Your name indicates that you focus not too much on turning technique. Me on the other hand feel comfortable with both left and right turns, using both parallell skis and also plowing into the turn. So I am wondering whether your so called "camp" would be on a too elementary level for me. However, I don't mind skiing with inferior skiers ass long as the difference isn't too big.

Would you please indicate whether this "camp" would suit me?

POTM in the TOTM.

bbirtle- Pure comedy, keep it coming.

Question- out of all those sweet photos, you chose that one as your avatar?

Shit man, my 2 weeks a year, livin' in Florida steeze is better than that.
Looks like you've been getting after it, you just need a little instruction, and maybe a better ski porn library.
Go to the camp.

I'd have thought that a local guide would have seen the snow conditions build up over the course of the season, know where the rocks are, and would be generally a good idea off-piste in Cham.

Dude, that site sucks, doesn't even work in IE6 let alone firefox.
