Done

Idris skis, and the inspiration for having a dragon in the logo came from the dragon character in a locally made cartoon where I grew up - also being the name of one of Wales highest mountains.

Did my usual monthly summer ski tour - to Italy

Sun is lower in the sky now, snow was hard crystals or refrozen glacial

Anyone know how to embed movies here? is it even possible

My wife and I just finished painting our car, does that count?

My cores are always way longer than the finished ski when I am planing them. I just cut the excess off afterwards.

Falls, true the old school stuff was nasty to fall on.

I raced (slalom) on that stuff for years as a kid - every other weekend in Summer!

But the new stuff gives you nasty carpet burns - can melt your clothing into you!

I finally get to display my skis to the world
