A while ago I mentioned that There is a move to include Cyclocross and Cross country running In the 20 30 Winter games.
The Winter Olympic Federation Which represents the many and varied Sports already included Are against it…. Saying “It would dilute the brand,
They are obviously pleased that Ski mountaineering has been added
And support the IOC Fit for the Future project Looking for ways to modernise And attract new audiences.
Someone pointed out that If they were super popular sports They would already be in the Summer games….
Oouch.

America celebrates recycling today…
We are all much better attuned to waste…
Of course a good way to save money On your ski holiday Is to buy second hand kit….
A friend bought a jacket on Ebay And found 200 dollars in the pocket ! Feeling bad He did contact the seller
Apparently she Was recycling Her husband Ex husband And anything he had owned.
The 200 dollars must have been his And No She didn’t want him to get it back !
A beginner friend got a really nice Almost brand new Jacket and ski trousers For £15 on preloved….
Suspect the seller Hadn’t loved skiing !
Don’t forget the Second hand sales In Seez And Bourg Today and tomorrow.
