    Kilted skiing again

    Ok, now from Christmas holiday. It was a nice day with little snowing and I decided to try the kilted skiing. It was around -4C that time and I took a round of about 3km (2miles). No problem at all! My grandfather insisted that he could take a pic before I leave

    Glad that your Grandfather insisted on taking a picture. You look great.

    Yeah I know that your crazy only "normal" people wear kilts.

    I would think that it could get a bit breezy, but I'll just have to trust you on it.

    Kilted ski-ing

    I've seen a kilted skier on Cairngorm, in Scotland, but Finland - well that's certainly a novelty!

    Nice pic Ackwell. Next, all you needed was a dram of Laphroaig and a sauna!
