    You definitely want some padding - knee/elbow pads are a good idea. Full body armour not necessary but never a bad thing. Some people ride there wearing normal MTB helmets but a full face lid & goggles is preferable - I can sort you out with a set if you want.

    There's loads of tracks of different grades (handily colour graded exactly like ski runs), so you can stick to what you feel comfortable with, although we did have Matt going down a couple of blacks on a HT after the warm up runs :)

    I'll rent some pads or ask a few mates cheers! Some of the ski armour may work for it.

    Should be good fun :)

    Fun is a given, and it is strangely addicitive :D My biking buddy is trying to persuade one of his mates (who mainly does roadie stuff but also has an MTB) to come along as well: currently his reason for not wanting to come is that he might get hooked and splurge loads of cash on his new obsession...

    Ski armour should be be OK, I've used bike pads for skiing. Any problems then I've got a spare pair of elbow & knee jobbies in the garage that I haven't used for ages.

    No worries - BTW I think I put the wrong date in the email, I was thinking of the June trip at the time. We'll be out the evening of Thurs 7th May.
