Andrew M Well it wasn't pretty, but I've done it. I fell over a few times and have a few bruises to show for it, and part of the run was done on my arse, as I fell off on a bit that was too steep to facilitate putting my skis back on. Still, I'm counting it and clicking the complete button.

I've always borrowed a ski jacket up until now, but this year I plan to buy one. I don't want to spend more than about Â£120, although as I'll be skiing in January, I'm expecting it to be cold.
