Why do people go skiing?

Well the kit hasn't arrived yet because the bank failed to do the money transfer. It should arrive tomorrow which leaves a days lee way for the weekend. However the Shavedlegs.co.uk team will not be out in force as Pat has broke his knee while skiing and needs surgery. It isn't first time either, I'm not sure why he books a whole week skiing, a long weekend should be enough, two days skiing to collect whichever injury is in fashion, and one day to see the doctor and fly home.
So it is just me racing this weekend, but I hope to get in a break or at least feature in the final sprint to make sure the kit features in as many photos as possible.
