I had a nasty accident last weekend and my leg is now in plaster for the next 2 weeks! Not broken but some major ligament damage....and I was on the red run......the attendants were excellent and took very good care of me until I was off the slope! Wow, that is really bad news ..... I hope you heal up quickly! Was that the first time you had gone skiing there?

I think I'd rather spend the money and go dune surfing instead. -------------------- Local Expert for Ohio, USA Next Countries: May 2010: Banff National Park - Canada Planning RTW in 2010-2011 for Asia and South America - coverage here

I don't think I would pay full price though -------------------- If you really look like your passport photo, you need the holiday!

It's just another thing in Dubai that is there for entertainment purposes. -------------------- If you really look like your passport photo, you need the holiday!
