    Watchig this has put a massive smile on my face. Having done 10 seasons in the Espace Killy myself the memories come flooding back. Love the way you ski, aggressive yet respectful.
    Can I put in a request? Have you tried Funi racing?
    Catch the Funival up and race the same carriage down to the bottom again and repeat until your legs don't want to play anymore. Choose anyway down you like... The OK Orange was always the best option after the Club de Sport had finished with it, I think my pb was 7 times in a row.
    Good luck, and remember - every turn is a sign of fear ;).
