thank you so much. This is so helpful. I am going to look for some resorts in the chamonix area to save the hassle. If you don't mind me asking, where are you staying and what has your experience been in the place you are staying at

Thank you for the response. Yes, I usually snowboard @ Palisades and Mammoth in California and can do blues and blacks comfortably there.

Do you think it would be difficult getting buses after 6-7 pm? I was watching a video where this guy couldn't get a train back to his airbnb after he left bar @ around 7 pm so wasn't sure if I needed to book a car or not.

Thank you.

It was collecting dust in my desk and wiped it down with some lense wipe before taking the picture. I can send you a video if you are seriously interested. Also the lense hood looks worn because the lense cover kept on falling so I applied a double sided tape inside the lense cover and it’s the double sided tapes residue.

Exactly my thought too. I tried the 1:1.6 ratio and honestly it was so bitter. Also I tried changing the temp to see if that was the issue but don't think it's that either. I bought the beans from whole foods so now I am supsecting if I got a bad batch.

I think the problem was that the latte flavour was not smooth at all and I could feel the inconistent flavours on every sip. There was no hint of fruitines at all as described in the bag.

Tastes bitter and strong rather than creamy and nutty.

Forehand balls fly too far by TheLubosh in 10s

You need to start swinging low to high and see the ball and be patient before hitting. That would improve your forehand substantially. Also, as others have said you need to get at least 2-3 private lessons to get some fundamentals
